Why She Won't Own It (And How to Help)
Manage episode 472313544 series 3603559
Do you feel like you’re constantly reminding (or let’s be real - nagging) your teen to take responsibility for the simplest things? Whether it’s forgotten homework, unwashed dishes, or the classic “I’ll do it later” (that never actually happens), it can feel like she’s allergic to accountability.
But what if her struggle with responsibility isn’t just attitude - but something deeper?
In this episode, we’re flipping the script and looking at things through a physiology-first lens. Before her brain has even had a chance to process, her body is already reacting - triggering stress responses, emotional overwhelm, and, yep, avoidance. We’ll break down:
- What’s really happening in her nervous system when she resists responsibility.
- Why she reacts before she thinks (hint: her brain is still developing!).
- Three simple, science-backed tools to help her step up—without the constant battle.
This isn’t about letting her off the hook- it’s about working with her biology, not against it. So, grab your coffee (or hide in the bathroom for some peace), and let’s dive in!
