  • Summary

  • Have you ever gotten into an argument with your three year old and wondered “How did it come to this? I’m bigger, stronger, smarter and yet this little tyke has me on the ropes!!!!”

    Have you tried to set a boundary with your teenager, only to have them“flip the script” and suddenly you’re on the defensive.


    In this special podcast we interview certified hostage and conflict negotiator Karleen Savage M.A., author other “The Confident Teen Blueprint: A Parent’s 30 Day Challenge to Empower their Teen.”

    We’ll discuss universal skills for conflict resolution that work with all children of all ages (including adult children!) Some of the techniques include:


    • Embracing Curiosity: How to become an exceptional learner.
    • Master Listening: How to story map, connecting the bullet points and filling in the gaps in the story.
    • “Zippy the Lippy” : Learn when to keep your mouth shut. Most relational conflict is NOT an emergency. There is a way to avoid getting caught up in the other person’s intensity.
    • Attitude: How can I deescalate this? How can I be present without “fixing” the problem.


    If you’ve ever felt like a hostage in your own family, you’ll want to listen to this one.
