The harder you
push your teen…
The more they
push back.
Use this the very next time they say ‘I’ll do it later.’

You ask your teen to do something…
Clean their room.
Get their homework done.
Be home on time.
They say “I will”…or “in a minute”…
Or worse—they just ignore you.
And then it doesn’t get done.
So you remind them.
And before long…
you’re frustrated…
They’re annoyed…
…and it turns into the same argument you’ve already had a dozen times.
Here’s the part most parents don’t realize…
It’s not that your teen doesn’t care.
And it’s not that you’re a bad parent.
It’s that most of us were taught to handle this by pushing harder.
Remind them again.
Take something away.
Raise your voice.
Add more consequences.
And if feels like that should work.
But with teens…
The harder you push—
the more they push back
They argue.
They shut down.
They ignore you.
And now you’re stuck having the same fight—
over and over again.
So what actually works instead?
You stop trying to win the fight in the moment.
And you set the boundary before the fight ever starts.
Not by pushing harder.
And not by letting things slide either.
You do it by having a different conversation—
when things are calm.
Instead of reacting after it doesn’t get done…
You sit down and say:
“Hey—let’s talk about homework.”
“What do you think would be fair here?”
“And what do you think should happen if it gets done… and if it doesn’t?”
Now something changes.
Instead of:
…the expectation is already clear.
Because you created it together.
And when teens feel like they had a voice?
They stop fighting quite so hard.
You’re still the parent.
You still set the direction.
But now you’re not chasing them or battling them every day.
You’ve already agreed on what’s expected.
Now you’re working on the same team.
Inside this short workshop, you’ll learn how to:
So the next time your teen says “I’ll do it later”…
you’ll know exactly what to do—
instead of falling into the same fight.
This won’t fix everything overnight.
But you will know how to handle one of the most common situations with your teen differently—
So it doesn’t turn into the same argument again.
If nothing changes…
It’s more of the same:
More reminders
More tension
More frustration
And over time…
Those small, daily arguments turn into a relationship you don’t want.
It feels more distant and harder to repair.
Most parenting advice focuses on getting your teen to change-
With better consequences, stricter rules, or more control.
But that’s exactly what creates the pushback.
This is different.
Instead of trying to control your teen…
You learn how to set boundaries in a way that brings your teen into the process.
So they are more likely to follow through instead of fight you on it.
I’ve seen this play out over and over again—
As a parent, a high school principal, and a coach.
When teens feel controlled, they push back.
But when they feel heard and involved?
They take more ownership.
They follow through more.
And the constant arguments start to fade.
That’s what I’ll show you how to do.
