Ep. 21: Morning Routines for Tweens and Teens: When They 'Should Know Better'

If your tween or teen still can't get through a morning independently and you're starting to wonder what you've been doing wrong — this episode reframes what's actually happening.

The expectation that older kids should just know better ignores what we actually know about how executive function develops. For teens who are wired differently, the gap between what they should be able to do and what their brain can actually execute is real — and it requires a different kind of support, not less support. In this episode you'll learn how to shift from controlling the routine to collaborating on it in a way that actually builds independence.
