Joyful Courage Podcast

for parenting teens

Welcome, friend! I am so happy you have found your way here. My name is Casey O’Roarty, and I am the host of the Joyful Courage Parenting Podcast.

This is a weekly show that is designed to entertain and inform as I tease apart all there is to learn on the parenting journey. My solo shows and expert guests interviews are packed full of useful nuggets for parents to take away and integrate into their own experience.

Episode 656

Eps 656: What if your teen is having a problem, not being one?

If your teen's disrespect, eye rolls, and slammed doors have you feeling stuck, this solo episode is for you. I'm unpacking a game-changing reframe: your teen isn't being a problem, they're having a problem. Drawing on Positive Discipline and the Rudolf Dreikurs's Mistaken Goal Chart, I share why discouraged teens act out, how power struggles and revenge cycles trap us, and five practical moves to interrupt the pattern. Children do better when they feel better — even teens. Come listen, my friend.
