Ask Rachel anythingKnowing your values helps in parenting tweens and teens because our communication with our teenagers is based on a solid foundation. If we know why we think something matters we have clearer discussions about their behaviour and why we emphasise certain things. We're also less fragile when our teens push back and want to challenge our ideas. Often they have the same values but are coming at them from a different angle. Knowing our values helps us to find compromise. A previous episode about valuesLink to my values exercises on SubstackThe two games mentioned:Ransom NotesHitster, if you haven’t already got this game it’s fantasticWe also love Taskmaster and Monopoly Deal, which is addictiveSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.
