Reduce Power Struggles with Your Teen | Carla Van Walsum, PhD

Reduce Power Struggles with your Teen! Changing the way you speak changes everything!

Adolescence is a period of life when teens pull away from their parents and develop their own identities. They are influenced by their family background, alliance with peers and the larger culture within which they live.

Sometimes, those multiple forces come into conflict and parents need some help with crafting constructive responses and carefully chosen words, so that they can preserve and strengthen their relationship with their teens, rather than unwittingly damage it during this period of growth and change.

The traditional, top-down parenting advice does not support the needs of the whole family. It offers temporary, short-term, punitive solutions which teach children/teens to fear making mistakes. 

The home is where children develop a sense of security, and the social-emotional skills they need to live independent, productive, and emotionally-fulfilling lives. Power struggles, yelling and fighting occur too often and seem to alienate you from each other.

In this course you’ll learn exactly why you’re stuck in unconscious patterns of negativity, blame, judgment, and stress – despite your deep desire to parent differently and connect with your kids/teens in ways that you may never have experienced with your own parents. 

Giving children a solid foundation which prepares them for the “real world” rests upon your ability to connect with their emotions and accept their maturity AND immaturity. 

 Hi, I’m Carla, holistic psychologist, and love to share with you how I created harmonious and respectful relationships with my children. I can truly say that I enjoyed the teenage years of my children tremendously! At that point I was a single mom, went through a rollercoaster existence after we moved from the Netherlands to Florida, 

 Respectful, compassionate  communication creates a quality connection. The main communication tools I use are called Crystal Clear Communication©, which is partially based on the NonViolent Communication of Marshall Rosenberg. I became a trainer in NVC in 1998, right after I learned this work.
One of my clients called it ‘a life saver of relationships.’ 
Connection is key for a good relationship.
You want to enjoy your children, now, and later! So, this NVC is SUCH a help!  

Here below are some examples of regular ways of speaking and using Non-Violent Communication: 

The key to a happy family life is found in respectful, authentic communication and a truthful, compassionate connection. Family relationships have repetitive patterns and Carla guides her clients to discover and learn entirely new ways of creating the family life they desire.

Making the choice to be emotionally responsive and manage your ANGER before interacting with your child(ren) may not be the choice that feels easy or peaceful, but it is what MUST be done if you want your children to mature OUT of reactionary behavior.
