Kids & Family:Parenting
Angry outbursts, tears, and difficult behavior can be the hallmark of the teen years. We also see these behaviors in our emotionally sensitive child as they learn to navigate the flood of emotions that overwhelms them. Matis Miller is an expert in dialectic behavior therapy and the author of The Uncontrollable Child. He uses DBT as a base for helping parents learn how to navigate these difficult situations. He talks to Mighty Parenting podcast host Sandy Fowler about strategies for parenting teens, and particularly those who are emotionally sensitive, in a way that calms the storm and builds a stronger relationship at the same time. Find out how to respond to outbursts and ways to manage discipline and problem solving when your teen acts out or breaks the house rules.

Parenting a teenager likely means there is a time when you feel it’s necessary to take away phone privileges. But that makes life more difficult for you since you can’t communicate with your child when they’re out of the house, or if they’re home and you don’t have a landline.
Troomi understands smartphones are a great tool for teens and yet our kids need to grow into them. So they’ve created an eco system that is fully customizable and completely under the parents’ control. Now you can give them only the aspects of the phone they are ready to use—and take away anything you think needs to be restricted.
The phone is designed to be a great first phone that grows with your child and that means you can also take away phone privileges while leaving your teen with the ability to communicate with you.
So whether you want them to learn to live with a smartphone in a healthy way and in a safe environment or you need the ability to restrict usage and access, get a Troomi phone. You can set up appropriate access to everything on the phone right in the parent portal.
You can learn more at troomi.com (affiliate link--thanks for supporting the podcast by using this link ) and use the code MIGHTYPARENTING to get a free phone through December 31st ($50 off after that). And if you want to know more of Sandy’s thoughts on using Troomi to help your child develop healthy technology habits just email through the contact page on mightyparenting.com.
