Handling Family Conflict with Your Teen | Abundant Life Family Podcast S2E9

Toshaun Avery, the Student Pastor at Abundant Life joins the hosts to talk about dealing with family conflict, especially for families with teenagers. Toshaun encourages parents to remember relationships are the foundation. He says they need to be honest with themselves about where they’ve invested in their child’s life and if they really know their teen. Toshaun says when handling family conflict, parents should answer the following questions for themselves: What do you want them to know when addressing conflict? What do you want them to do after this conversation? What do you want to accomplish by having this conversation? What do you want them to feel? The hosts remembered while they were raising their sons how important it was to ask questions. Seeking to understand where their children were when handling family conflict helped the parents see another perspective. The hosts and Toshaun also highlighted the importance of timing the conversation for when the child might be more receptive to it. Knowing if your child has had a bad day can make the conversation not go as well as parents dealing with family conflict might hope. Toshaun and the hosts also discussed some resources for parents while raising their children and dealing with family conflict. One of these was Abundant Life’s Counseling Center.
