Unfortunately, high schools don’t prepare our teens for the real demands of adulthood, including self-regulation, personal growth and life management skills.

When young men don’t know how to handle the parts of life that are unfair, uncomfortable and uncertain, they act out their frustration with inappropriate, immature behaviors.

In this podcast, Dr. Mark talks about the need for young men to become the CEO  - “Chief Energy Officer” -  of their lives so that they can successfully navigate the challenges that life will continually throw at them.

Although modern, scientific family psychotherapy provides great insights to
parents and their children, it’s sometimes overlooks the family wisdom that our tribal
ancestors know.

This podcast reveals some of the ways that a Mongolian family used to
create a more caring and cooperative relationship with their teenager, and how you can
apply those lessons with your own family.

Dr. Mark reveals how he carefully leads young men to become more loyal
to their parents. He does so by challenging them to see how their parents are
consistently devoted to them based on the way young men define loyalty. When young
men realize that they can both disagree with their parents and behave loyally, everyone
can enjoy more mature and caring relationships.

When your son does not reveal his true feelings and thoughts
with you it’s because he’s choosing to wear a mask that says, “I have life
figured out and I don’t need your help.” Because he knows that he doesn’t
have it figured out he becomes anxious and eventually depressed. This
podcast tells you how to prevent this from happening so that your son can
live a happy and productive life.

Teen brains are fascinated by the charm they experience from the constant participation and instant gratification that electronic devices offer. If your son is becoming overly reliant on his devices, it’s preventing him from tapping into his natural teen instinct to confidently experience what it takes to become more physically, emotionally, and financially independent.

Parents need to have a way, or method, to help everyone in the home successfully transition from the past ways of caring and cooperating with each other to the new ways of being together.

Healthy romantic relationships are not only about compatibility or commitment. It also requires that the couple have a shared “way” or method of navigating their lives, and the lives of their children, so that everyone can enjoy excellent physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

When your teenager realizes you don’t have the energy to keep up, they’ll become more daring with their inappropriate behaviors. By taking better care of yourself – even with a busy schedule - you’ll earn their respect and enjoy more cooperation from your teen.

It’s no secret that many teen young men prefer to remain boys by not getting a job, spending too much time on social media, playing video games... and generally just not going for it.

Dr. Mark offers a simple way to reduce the frustration of watching your son avoid adulthood by motivating him to become more responsible for his well-being.

Dr. Mark believes that a major reason that young men are not ready to launch successfully into the young adult world is because they have not attended a personal growth, rite of passage initiation.

He also knows that when parents talk about a rite of passage to their son, he’s going to be resistant and say he doesn’t want to go. In this video, parents learn exactly what to tell their son, and how to confidently respond if he’s insisting that he will not attend.

If young men don’t learn to respect their mothers, they’re not going to respect the other women in their life. If your son is agitated and is misbehaving towards you, as a mother, you need to know how to respond in a calm and influential way.

This episode shows you how to help your son develop more sensitivity to your thoughts and feelings.

When your son arrives late after curfew the worst thing to do is to agitate him with shame, blame, or punishment. Knowing when and how to communicate with your son (including applying a consequence) after a transgression is the key to ensuring that he understands the main lessons you know he needs to learn.

Revealing to young men what their own true virtues are, makes them have more respect for themselves because they realize that they were born with specific skills and genuine wisdom. Having this new-found self-respect makes it more likely that they’ll be willing to behave according to the virtues their parents want them to learn, like responsibility, cooperation, and honesty. 

Moral: If you make a deal with young men that will help them discover their authentic qualities, they’ll step up and develop the qualities they’ll need in order to launch into the adult world successfully.
