Ma Xin’s Mother has not spoken to her for the past 2 days. This is because she went out with her boyfriend. Ma Xin feel very depressed by this behaviour of her mom. But this is nothing new. In fact, this pattern of behaviour has happened many times before. Everytime Ma Xin does something that her mother disapproved of, she would give Ma Xin this cold treatment. This is the relationship problem that Ma Xin brought to me, a 19 years old college girl at TeenPsych ™ Centre of the Teenage psychology of the Malaysian Psychology Centre. Ma Xin come to see me with her mother to tell us what’s bothering her and she said “ Ma Xin never listen to me, I told her not to have a relationship yet and focus on her study but she does not listen.” Ma Xin was about to protest and argue with her mother but I stopped her. Instead I asked her to just repeat her mother said. “So mom, you want me not to have a relationship yet and focus on my studies” “Good” I said. “Now tell your mom you understand this” which she did. Ma Xin ‘s mother now become more relaxed. “I am glad you understood me finally, love.” she said. “Now you can negotiate “, I told Ma Xin. She then tell her mother “mum, I want to do well in my studies too but I also want to be a friend with Jamie. I will focus on my studies in weekdays and go out with my friends in the weekend.” Her mother said “Ok, but make sure you are back before 12pm.” Through following the TeenPsych™ Parents Guerilla Negotiating Tactics ™, Ma Xin was able to get back on speaking term with her mother and improve her communication and relationship with her. And she also got what she wants; having a relationship with her boyfriend, but this time with the approval of her mother.
