@ChelseaExplainsItAll on TikTok shared her advice for parents navigating constant disagreements with 'sassy' teens.
We were all 13 once. Fighting with your parents over nearly everything under the sun is as much of a right of passage as a bat mitzvah. As aAnd look, 13-year-olds are incredibly, viciously sassy, and yes, it sucks for parents. But, Chelsea pointed out, young teens also misunderstood — and meeting them where they are is an important step in coming to a positive solution for everyone.
I’m sure most of us have been there. The phrases, “But Mommmm, you’re being unfair!” or “But Mommmm, why can’t I?” have been reused by every generation since the dawn of time. The cave-teens probably said it. As adults, we can roll our eyes, but Chelsea points out that meeting teens with a touch more empathy on this issue can make those years far less painful on both ends.
“I know that the ‘yes, if’ might sound like this conditional thing, but it truly makes the other person feel like they have a little bit of power, that not everything that they do or say is going to be shut down,” she said.Commenters widely supported Chelsea’s take, and some expanded on it with their own experiences raising teens.
