The Good Thing About Being the Bad Guy, Part 2

The Good Thing About Being the Bad Guy, Part 2 April 25, 2023

This is a two-part blog to encourage and equip parents of teenagers. See part 1 here. Pass this along to a parent who needs it!!

In the first part of this blog, we shared the stunning truth that although our high-schoolers certainly don’t look it, they secretly want us to stick with our “staying on top of them” parenting role. As long as they see our actions as helping them grow (see the details in part 1), they don’t want us to give in and become a friend before it is time.

But in the midst of drama, pushing, and confusion about what on earth we should do, it can get exhausting to stay the course and finish the high-school season strong. So in this part 2, we share the final four actions that will help us do that.
