You're frustrated that you can't get through to your child. You've tried everything, but no matter what you do, his light isn't shining, and your relationship is suffering. Talking and consequences don't work, and you're starting to feel like your child is never going to have a life that's free, easy, and fun.
Instead, she's consumed with worry and it's keeping her from being her best self and preventing the two of you from getting along. You've always noticed a difference in your child's behavior at home compared to when he's in public. But lately, this difference is getting more pronounced and harder to handle.

You can't help but wonder where you went wrong and why you can't seem to reach your child. It's as if no matter what expectation you lay out for him, he just can't manage to do what needs to be done. You thought parenthood would bring you a sense of pleasure and joy. That you would have someone to guide, teach, and share your values with and someone you could take such pride in watching grow.
The hope that came from raising a happy child has suddenly shifted and it's as if you and your little one are just trying to get through the day. No matter what you try, you can't figure out how to get your child to listen and behave, and you're struggling to get back to the place where your family used to thrive.
But now that you're in the thick of parenting your child, you're starting to feel like it's the other way around, that the low points are outlasting the good. You truly want to make life with your child better and you've tried every parenting approach you know, but no matter what you do, nothing seems to be working.
But you never expected the amount of pressure she would be under now that she's about to leave the house. You certainly don't remember standards being so high when you were young and the pressure is happening earlier than you ever imagined. Despite how overwhelming the pre-teen and teenage years can be, you're ready to help your child manage his stress and find a stronger sense of happiness.
Has your child been acting out? If they've been misbehaving or talking back, you may wonder whether they are just looking for attention or whether something more worrisome is going on. The continual power struggle may be wearing your patience thin, creating household tension and frustration. Have the lines of communication broken down?
