In this episode Lisa and Megan discuss:

• The importance of teaching your kids to think about thinking from a young age. 
• Recognizing the difference between what actually happens and the narrative our brain tells around the same event. 
• The difference harnessing the power of thought can make in parenting your teen. 
• The power of flipping statements into questions and interrogating the narrative. 

Key Takeaways: 

• All behavior is driven by thinking. If you can teach your teenagers how to change their mindset and externalize their thinking, you will give them better tools for success. 
• As humans, people take action based on what they think. If a negative story is being told about facts, it can wear on relationships over time. 
• The first step to changing your mindset, both for yourself as a parent and for your teenager, is identifying the stories that are being told around the events that are happening. 
• If kids are going to make good decisions, they need to be resilient and brave and learn to take risks. They can increase their bravery by interrogating the stories that they are telling themselves. 

 
“If we can teach our kids how to think about their thinking and objectify it as something outside of themselves, then they can make better decisions, and, ultimately, the stories that are running their life are conscious instead of unconscious.” – Megan Hyatt Miller
