What are three Dynamics of a Power Struggle?

Dear Parents,
Many parents report power struggling with their teens. What are the dynamics of a Power struggle?

To fully understand the dynamics of a power struggle, let’s do a demonstration.   Just for fun, find someone nearby and ask them to join hands with you  and engage in a small tug of war.  Nothing crazy now.  Just one person pull, and the other resist the pull.   

If you are alone, just grab hold of your own two hands, and pull so you can feel the resistance as your right hand tries to pull to the right, and your left hand tries to pull to the left. 

I want you to Notice Three Things.  These Three Things are Three Key Dynamics of the Power Struggle.

Dynamic # 1)  There is energy in it.  You can feel the energy of your own resistance.  If you are playing tug of war with a partner, you can feel the energy of your own and your partner’s resistance.

Tomorrow I will share with you Dynamic # 2.
To Your Family,
