5 reasons why parenting strategies don't work - which missteps are you making?

Updated: Sep 9

Have you found yourself attend every parenting class and read every parenting book only to find out that they don’t work for you as a parent when it comes to parent your teens with challenging behaviour?

Many parents have walked this path as I have had the privileges to help many of them to come out of this exhausting and hopeless cycle. The following are the insights from my experience. ✅ They don’t and can’t tell you what your unique family blueprint is. This is your unique family make up that involves around your family’s interaction, affection, emotional involvement, behaviour, beliefs and values. There are also life adversaries and your experiences of being parented to be thought about. ✅ The strategies are too general and universal. This means that there’s no one size fits all strategy because your family is one of the kind and everyone in it. Every family circumstances are different. Individual needs are different. They need to be considered when developing a parenting strategy ✅ They don’t have a full understanding of your teens’ challenging behaviour and unable to provide you with a extensive analysis of the challenges you are facing, such as what keeps the challenging behaviour going at home, what’s trigger it … etc. ✅ The parenting strategy may not be targeting the right contributing factors that triggers or keep the challenging behaviour going. If your teen’s aggressive behaviour is as a result of sensory challenges due to ASD, and you try to manage the aggressive behaviour by giving your teen consequences. This is not going to work. ✅ They don’t show you in details as to how you implement the parenting strategies effectively. There are many factors to think about when trying a new parenting strategy, such as how you are introducing new rules, how many rules, who gets to be involved, what happens when your teens don’t agree with the new rule, but given it’s too general, you are already not setting up for success. ✅ They don’t show you how you evaluate or review how the parenting strategy is working out for you or not, so that you can learn to make all strategies work for you. Instead, when you hit a block, you mind goes to “ it doesn’t work”. It’s true, it doesn’t.

Warmly Pei-I 🌈There’s always hope, endless hope


A Traumatic event nearly broke the family. After a  year of trying everything but nothing worked, they found their harmony

I was really struggling to be honest! Some things happened and I lost all of my confidence. I made mistakes and didn't know how to get back on track.

 

BUT after just a couple of sessions with Pei-I, I’m feeling soooo much better. I’m really positive about the future instead of worrying all of the time. For me, the best thing has been the clear strategies you’ve provided.

And I can see the strategies you’ve given me are working already!! After just a couple of weeks things have improved massively. I’m so happy I found you and so excited for the future!! This is exactly what we needed. I know we will all be less stressed and happier because of the work we’ve been doing together Pei-I - we already are (but I’m not letting you go anywhere just yet ).

 

Anyone who is thinking of working with you should absolutely DO IT. You’re extremely knowledgeable in this area and definitely a talented coach. I feel like to always listen but equally have a lot of amazing insights to share. I love that in a coach.  Mum from England
