show vs. tell


Let us Show versus Tell our teens! 

Instead of teaching our teens by telling them what to do, how about mirroring how you want them to show up in this world!

I believe the best way our teens learn is by watching how you live your life.  

Ask yourself:

How are you showing up in this world?

Are you taking risks?  

Are you playing small?  

Do you dislike your career?  

What type of friends are you keeping?  

What is your relationship like with your partner?  

How are you caring for yourself?  

Do you make yourself a priority?  

Are you an example of what is possible?  

Are you a negative nelly?  

Are you numbing your emotions with food, alcohol, or social media?

Your teen is watching and I can guarantee they tuned you out after the 30th time you said the same thing you are trying to get across to them. 

I am sure you heard:  LEAD BY EXAMPLE  but how many times do we actually do this.  

I encourage you to take steps in ways you never did before.  

Allow your teen to see you strive to be the best version of yourself.  

 Let them see you start something new and fail thousands of times and still keep at it until you reach your goal!

  BE THE EXAMPLE for your teen!  You have it in you!  You can do it!  

Whether it is finding a new career, creating the business you always wanted, surrounding yourself with friends that support you and lift you up, start taking care of yourself and making yourself a priority, try something new and be scared and do it anyway.   Life is so much more fun and exciting when we step out of our comfort zone and take action toward our desires. 

HELP YOUR TEEN SEE HOW LIVING LIFE IS DONE!
