Two parents are experiencing a lot of conflict with his teenage daughter, who feels she deserves a lot more independence that they are willing to grant her. They love her and can see and understand her frustration and pain. And they want to strengthen their connection to her. But she keeps rebuffing every invitation they offer to spend time together, even to do something fun. And she increasingly avoids them at home and only talks to her friends. Given the place where they are stuck on the Influence Pyramid, which level of the pyramid should the parents now focus on? Improve their way of being and seek and heart of peace in relationship to their daughter. Build supporting relationships with others who have influence in their daughter's life. Build their relationship with their daughter. Listen to and learn from their daughter. Teach and communicate better with their daughter. Correct their daughter's behavior and attitude.

Consider the following scenario: You are a working single parent of a 16-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter. Your son has an 11 PM curfew on weekends, but recently, he has been ignoring curfew and coming home after midnight. When you try to address this with him, he either ignores you or gets angry and starts screaming at you. When he's at home, he tends to shut himself away in his room. His latest report card shows that his grades are slipping. You are getting very concerned, but you work full-time and parent by yourself, so you are getting frustrated as well. At the same time, your daughter has been telling you that she doesn't feel well and doesn't want to go to school. After some prodding, she shared that she has been getting teased at school and bullied online. After reviewing the learning resources for this week, come up with a strategy for dealing with your children that is supported by the literature on adolescent discipline. What are some of the things that you need to take into consideration? What actions would you implement to try and address the problematic behaviors you are witnessing? What actions would you avoid?

12. A caregiver who experienced severe childhood neglect constantly worries that they are "failing as a parent." You tell them that reading to their 6-year-old child will help build their vocabulary. The parent starts crying and yells, "I never read to them. I've already doomed them. I can't even do the most basic parenting things!" What tip is MOST important to consider when communicating concerns to this caregiver? Acknowledge your own apprehensions. Prepare for trauma response. Help navigate services. Ask for feedback.
