You love your teen.

But let’s be honest — it’s exhausting trying to figure out what actually works.

✅ Trade Nagging for Ownership in 21 Days

🔍 You see the surface problem: chores and homework are ignored.
⚡ Root fix: Tasks feel forced, not chosen.
✨ Result: Shift control—coach, don’t punish—so they own outcomes because it’s their idea.
