what channel are you tuned into with your teen?
My goal is to help facilitate true connection between you and your teen! We all want to be seen and heard and I know that our teens need us more now than ever. Most of them don’t even realize it or don’t have the words to voice it but there is this underlying disconnect that they need us to help rebuild the bridge of connection.
I have one way that has been super helpful in guiding my thoughts back to goodness and I want to share with you!!!
It is this notion of: What channel are you tuned to?
As humans, our thoughts naturally gravitate towards the negative. Our minds are powerful. We have to understand what channel we are watching?
Are you playing back old memories of past mistakes or wrong doing your teen made?
Are you playing back the hurtful words said between the two of you?
Are you ruminating on some sad event when you weren’t treated right or something unfair happened?
Before you know it, you are feeling sad, resentment, discouraged, and lack of motivation to connect with your teen. I say………CHANGE THE CHANNEL!
Stop landing on the same miserable past, and focus on the GOODNESS Channel.
The goodness channel has memories of you and your teen experiencing so much good!
Remember the sweet hug your teen gave you.
Remember the memories of wonderful vacations and adventures you had together.
Remember their beautiful smile and kind heart.
Remember sitting and watching their favorite tv show with them.
Remember the times on stage or out on the field or court, watching their dedication and hard work unfold.
How about even the simple goodness of your teen waking up on their own for school, when they remember their school and sports bag, when they manage their school schedule, homework, presentations, quizzes, tests.
Our teens create so much goodness.
Let’s keep the GOODNESS channel on!
