Before you hit the teenage years, teach your moody child the power of a second chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parenting tweens and teens can give you whiplash if you&rsquo;re not careful. It typically starts out a little like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your kid tracks mud through the living room, and you snap. She hangs her head, and you&rsquo;re not proud of snapping at her. But you clean it up together, and you both <strong>move on<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then 30 minutes later when you ask for help folding laundry, you realize the truth about who&rsquo;s moved on. She stomps over to the laundry basket and won&rsquo;t make eye contact. She&rsquo;s still stuck on the mud mishap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And so you snip at each other, back and forth, back and forth &ndash; getting progressively grumpier with each other in each exchange. <strong>Suddenly<\/strong>, you get the feeling you&rsquo;re on the outside looking in, and you wonder: <em>Where did we go so wrong?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Science shows that in happy relationships, you need a <a href=\"https:\/\/happyyouhappyfamily.com\/how-to-connect-with-your-child\/\">ratio of five positive interactions<\/a> to every one negative interaction. When my oldest daughter and I have been snapping at each other all day, balancing every negative interaction with five positive exchanges feels like an <strong>impossible<\/strong> goal to get us back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s the good news: After researching <a href=\"https:\/\/happyyouhappyfamily.com\/happy-you\">how to find happiness in the chaos of parenting<\/a> and writing a book about it, I can usually catch myself much earlier when we start down that path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the truth is, we still have these moments. I find myself wishing life had a <strong>reset button<\/strong> so we can start fresh and erase the negativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And my attempts to reset my moody child&rsquo;s attitude haven&rsquo;t worked out well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"yellowbox\"><strong>Bonus:<\/strong> As a bonus for joining my weekly newsletter, <a class=\"modal-trigger\" href=\"#get-printable-miracle-phrases\">get this free cheat sheet<\/a> of 16 miracle phrases that will help you reconnect with your child after a tough moment.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-blocks-modal-link{color:var(--global-palette2, #2B6CB0);border-radius:0px;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;}#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-blocks-modal-link:hover, #kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-blocks-modal-link:focus{color:#f96d60;}#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-overlay, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-overlay, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-overlay{background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);}#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-overlay, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-overlay, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-overlay{-ms-flex-pack:center;justify-content:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;}#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container{width:100%;max-width:700px;-ms-flex-pack:flex-start;justify-content:flex-start;text-align:left;-ms-flex-align:flex-start;align-items:flex-start;}#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container{padding-top:30px;padding-right:30px;padding-bottom:30px;padding-left:30px;margin-top:10px;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:10px;}#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container{background:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-top-left-radius:3px;border-top-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-left-radius:3px;border-top:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-right:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-bottom:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-left:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);}#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg{width:24px;height:24px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container{width:100%;border-top:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-right:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-bottom:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-left:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg{width:24px;height:24px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-container{width:100%;border-top:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-right:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-bottom:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-left:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);}#kt-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg, #kt-target-modal21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg, .kb-modal-content21045_df1990-70 .kt-modal-close svg{width:24px;height:24px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-modal aligncenter kt-modal-linkalign-center\" id=\"kt-modal21045_df1990-70\"><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b8fd97-90 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b8fd97-90 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b8fd97-90 .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;text-transform:uppercase;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b8fd97-90 .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"howitgoes\">This Is How It Goes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One morning not too long ago, my oldest daughter and her middle sister came downstairs to breakfast, and I hugged both girls at the same time. It <strong>didn&rsquo;t take long<\/strong> for the little one to squirm out of the hug, leaving me still hugging my big kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I kissed her on the top of her head. &ldquo;How&rsquo;d you sleep?&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Not good.&rdquo; She gestured at her sister, playing happily. &ldquo;She keeps kicking me and pushing me off the bed while she&rsquo;s sleeping.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I laughed. &ldquo;You used to do the same thing when you slept.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her face darkened, and she pulled away from the hug. &ldquo;No, I didn&rsquo;t.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Yes, you did!&rdquo; I laughed again. &ldquo;And when we drove late at night on road trips, you&rsquo;d flail your arms and legs.&rdquo; She <strong>loves<\/strong> hearing stories about when she was younger, so I thought this little snippet would pull her back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Well, I couldn&rsquo;t sleep, and I was tired!&rdquo; Her voice rose the tiniest amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My smile dropped. &ldquo;I know you were tired. I&rsquo;m just saying that you sleep the same way as your sister.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;No, I don&rsquo;t!&rdquo; Her voice went up another notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to drop it, but the damage was <strong>done<\/strong>.
