Is Your Child Rebelling? How to Recognize It and Respond The Right Way

What do you do when your child's behavior is crossing the line from misbehavior to a total rejection of your parental authority? In this episode, Steve and Mary Alessi unpack what rebellion really looks like in kids and teens. You'll hear candid stories from their own parenting journey, as they share why every child has a seed of rebellion that must be handled early, with wisdom and love—not fear or anger. You’ll see how bad behavior often hides deeper issues, from sibling jealousy to struggles with identity, and hear practical strategies for setting loving boundaries that restore, not just punish. Steve and Mary get honest about tattoos, piercings, and cultural pressures, challenging you to look past appearances and connect with what’s happening in your child’s heart. Get ready to rethink discipline, communication, and why being proactive today sets your family up for a healthier tomorrow. 00:00 Coming up in today's episode 04:24 Parental lessons on stealing 09:00 Understanding child rebellion and guidance 10:24 Understanding children's rebellion 14:25 Addressing rebellious behavior in kids 16:59 Parenting challenges and cultural shifts 19:19 Reflections on parenting challenges 22:35 Parenting and discipline balance 29:18 Sibling arguments and resolution advice 35:57 Teaching children discipline and values 43:00 Discussing personal rebellion with parents 48:20 Dealing with rebellious kids Sign Up for Our Podience Newsletter for More Family Business! https://alessifamilybusiness.com/newsletter TEXT A COMMENT TO THE PODCAST 302-524-0800 SHOP FOR TFB MERCH https://alessifamilybusiness.com/store Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this channel!
