// Weekly Action-able Tip about Teens and Schoolwo // Weekly Action-able Tip about Teens and Schoolwork // Are you tired of playing the role of homework police? Does regular prompting and nagging wear you down? There is another way! This week, we are anticipating the first report cards and talking about doing school differently. Arming teens with self-knowledge about their own learning styles and needs helps them take a healthy sense of control for their own learning styles and preferences. Then they can become their own best advocate at school, and you don't have to play middleman or assignment cop. I have a survey on learning styles to use with your teen. Who wants it? Type learning styles in the comments below and I will message it right over. Or I can send it by email if you prefer. Just share your email address. #teenempowerment #nagging #homeworkpolicefreedom #parentingteens #parentingtweensndteens #parentingteenagers #parentingtips #consciousparenting #consciouscommunication #heart2heartparents #raiserespectfulparents
// Action-able Tip to Improve Your Teen Relationsh // Action-able Tip to Improve Your Teen Relationship // If you are not able to speak to your tweens and teens as equals in communication, then you are preparing them to be controlled or be controlling (be a bully) in life because every relationship will be about power and control. If, however, you speak to your tween or teen as if what they have to say is just as important as what you have to say, you are laying the foundation for them to be able to stand up for themselves and treat others with respect, dignity and equality. #consciouscommunicationskills #consciousparenting #consciouscommunication #parentingteens #parentingteenagers #parentingtweensandteens #parentingtips #heart2heartparents #raiserespectfulparents
// #1 Parenting Behavior to Avoid to Grow Our Teen // #1 Parenting Behavior to Avoid to Grow Our Teen's Confidence // I want to share the #1 behavior to avoid in parenting that will help foster your teen’s confidence. When we stop this behavior, we will see connection and respect grow. It is, attempts to control our teens. Our attempts at control, only serve to push our teens away from us and undermine their autonomy, confidence and agency. (Agency in this case means the independent, responsible choice-making we say we want to nurture in our teens.) You may ask, what are controlling behaviors in parenting anyway? Sara Regan, relationship writer and Hillary Jacobs Hendel, LCSW share the following controlling parental behaviors as examples. · Interfering in your teen’s participation in various aspects of their lives. Speaking about controlling parents, Dr. Shefali Tsabury says, “Parents want to influence the child and be a part of their every decision.” · Criticize choices their children make independently. · Conditional love (can be characterized by withdrawing and withholding) · Rigid and often unrealistic rules · Lack of empathy and respect · Unusually harsh punishments · Lack of appreciation for individuality · Expecting the child (in our case teen) to act like an adult · Manipulation with gifts · Using guilt and shame As I often share, communication is a mirror or measure of the health of our relationships. Communication reveals how we value our teens or if we are projecting our own fears, anxieties and traumas onto them. Each of us need support to make the changes our hearts desire and our teens need. I encourage you to reach out to the trusted others who have trekked this journey. If you are ready to learn the conscious communication skills (in order) that demonstrate the respect and dignity you and your teen deserve, you can still join my NEW Back on Track Parent Group Coaching Experience for one more week before I close it. It is half price now; price goes up next round. Private message me and I will get you signed up. #groupcoaching #parentcoaching #parentingteens #parentingteenagers #consciouscommunication #raiserespectfulparents #heart2heartparents

Yes! Yes!
Weekly Action-able Tip: Every interaction can be Weekly Action-able Tip: Every interaction can be an opportunity to change, to adopt a new attitude or communicate as respectful equals. It doesn't mean you have to agree. It doesn't mean you compromise your position as parent. It means you communicate as if what they have to say, is just as important as what you have to say. Imagine, your teen as the confident launching young adult you hope for and talk to that person. It can shift the relational dynamic. Try it and let us know how it goes in the comments below. If you find that hard to do, message me, let's chat about it. #parentingteens #parentingtweensandteens #parentingteenagers #consciousparenting. Heart2heartparents #raiserespectfulparents
