Are we thinking for parents when they are capable of thinking for themselves?When a parent comes to you frustrated by their teenager’s (or threenager’s) behavior, where do your thoughts go?

Do you even feel a little surge of excitement because you have the perfect strategy that will not only stop the behavior but will help the child develop valuable social-emotional skills? That enthusiasm can feel almost unbearable to hold inside and what spills out is a robust explanation of what’s going on and a solution (or 10) to their problem.
