Does your teenage daughter ever feel like she just can’t catch a break?

When life’s challenging events stack up, it’s almost impossible to ‘look on the bright side’ and offering a bit of optimism just feels dismissive.

We’ve all had those Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - kinds of days. 

But bad days are going to happen.

Hey Parents, welcome back to the Cultivating Resilient Teens Podcast.

I’m your host, Shawna Warner. And as always, it’s an honor to spend this time together.

o   She’ll catastrophize it.

o   Or she’ll drown in it. 

The hard part is none of these approaches move your daughter through her emotions.

And waves have three stages - they rise, crest, and dissipate.

Here's to cultivating a more resilient teen for all of life's adventures!
