Why Won’t She Just Listen? | Parenting Teen Girls Through Big Emotions

Send us Fan Mail

Parenting teen girls can make a simple request feel like a standoff. 

When she says “in a minute” and doesn’t move, try looking beyond the behaviour to what might be going on underneath. 

Rach explores teen girl emotions and offers a calmer way to respond, with more connection and less conflict.

If you’re listening to this thinking, “that’s me,” I’ve got something for you. It’s called Connect the Dots.

It’s a really simple guide to help you slow down, look at what you’re actually seeing, and then zoom out and consider what else might be going on for your daughter.

You can grab it for free here.

And if you’re local to Cumbria, come and join us at Wild Girls Group. It’s on the first Tuesday of every month at Watchtree Nature Reserve, from six until half past eight.

It’s a chance for girls to get together, have a laugh, play, explore and connect without everything having to be about school, achievement or what they should be doing.
