Stop fixing their problems…

Consider this. If every time your teenager has an issue or problem you step in and rescue them, you are missing the opportunity to teach them to be resourceful.  The alternative is to give the problem back to your teenager (or preteen) and empower them to solve it themself.

Stop saying that you understand what they are going through…

Even though you were a teenager once and you probably went through a similar circumstance, don’t assume that you know exactly what your teenager is going through.  Their life experience is different than yours. Would you like to know what to do instead … Seek to Understand.  As the parent of a teenager, curiosity can be one of your best tools.

Stop dismissing feelings …

Think for a minute about how you feel when someone dismisses your feelings. It feels like they just don’t get you and that you don’t matter. Is this what you want your teenager to feel? Your teenager has enough of this to worry about as they try to make friends and make their way through the social dos and don'ts at school. As a parent, your goal is to make your relationship and your home a safe place where your teenager feels seen for who they are and loved unconditionally. In this lesson you will learn what to do instead… acknowledge and validate. These two coaching skills provide a powerful way to enhance the parent teen relationship.
