Remember this about all those end of the year ceremonies (even for teens).

// Let he who has ears hear // That’s right! I q

// Let he who has ears hear // That’s right! I quoted Jesus. But it’s been said other ways, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears,” Richard Bach. The point is, we must be spiritually and emotionally ready for direction. I had a coffee chat with a couple this weekend who were not ready to see how their authoritarian parenting was pushing their son away. They could not see that he is injured. They were not ready to hear that this generation and these times call for a more conscious and relational parenting…that our teens can lead us to truths we have not yet considered as a society and these truths are beyond the hierarchical view of success, but they are the horizontal relational perspective of the ages. Our teens need us to ready ourselves, urgently! #parentingteenagers #parentingteens #parentingtweensandteens #parentingeachother

//How do I motivate my teen?//

• Is your teen is isolating in their room to the point of not even engaging with friends and it really concerns you?

• Or does your teen stay online or playing video games till all hours and blows home and school responsibilities?

If this is you, you are not alone. Many teens are suffering from a malaise that steals their motivation and it can't be blamed on the pandemic anymore.

If you suspect a mental health issue, please seek a mental health professional. However, that's only a small percentage of the teen population and the majority of parents are left wondering what to do to engage their teens. In other words, you are not alone!

Here are a few tips that I shared with parent who attended my Brave Parent Mini Summit in our Facebook group.

1.) Make sure you know clearly what's your problem and what's your teen's problem.

If you are concerned that your teen will miss the summer vacation because they won't pass a class and will have to go to summer school, that could be your problem and you can ask, "What is your plan and how can I support you to pull that grade up?"

If, however, the grade doesn't affect a future plan, you may want the natural consequences at school to play out. There's nothing like real world experience to instruct teens.

2.) Use open ended questions and invitations by inquiry to engage your teen and assume their best response even if you've been rejected in the past. (Remember nonjudgmental tones invite engagement.)

"I notice you're spending more time in your room and less time with your friends, is there something you want to talk about?"

"I notice you spending less time in the family room with your Dad and me. I miss you. Come hang out with us, we can try to get to the new level of the video game you like."

Remember a compliant teen that responds to our control tactics isn't the goal. An authentic and growing teen finding their unique way in the world, is!

If you're dealing with teen motivation issues, message me. Let's set up a no pressure, coffee chat to brainstorm how to turn it around. #consciouscommunicationwithteens #motivatingteens #consciouscommunication #parentingteenagers

What's your parenting purpose?

Teens are reporting that they feel increasingly more isolated which contributes to the teen mental health crisis.

Remember a compliant teen that responds to our control tactics however well intended and guised, isn't the goal (even if it makes our lives easier).

An authentic and growing teen finding their unique way in the world, is!
