Seeing our children at any age as "ours" seems reasonable right? It makes sense why we see it this way but it is also very problematic from a standpoint of providing our teenagers with the autonomy they need to grow and become independent.
This weeks episode explores this further and the reason why we do this and why it is not helpful for either our teenagers or ourselves.

I know what you're thinking because I've thought it too. If I just accept things that means I like them, condone them or am not going to do anything about it?
This is not true and in fact the reality is when something has happened that we don't like, we spend so much wasted time and energy resisting it. This does not help. How do I know? So much time spent arguing against reality.
In this episode I discuss how acceptance is not passive, how it helps us suffer less, save time and get to better actions sooner. I also discuss the difference between passive acceptance and active acceptance.

Have you watched the shows about these programs that claim to help teenagers reform? There is good and bad in every industry but what does this say about relationships?

I can help you improve your relationship with your teenager by looking at just you. You are the person you have the most influence with FOR SURE.

What if CALM is not somewhere we are trying to get to or strive for? I've been striving to be calm for awhile now and what I've come to realize is that our calm state is covered up by a lot of false thoughts that are disguising themselves as the truth. What if we can be like water and rest into calm. Allow ourselves to settle. The more we do this the easier it gets to come into that state of being.
Think of a lake or an ocean. When is it actually calm like glass with no movement? Very seldom, so don't judge yourself either if you are not calm. It takes some practise and some removal of old patterns to rest into a calmer state. The times when we are agitated are perfect teachers to help us learn and really unlearn our old worried and fearful ways of thinking.
This episode is all about that...... CALM waters ahead.

Have you watched the movie Inside Out? I just watched it and I know it's not new but I want to talk about it! It should be required watching for all humans.
Listen to find out why our job as parents is not to make our kids happy all the time or to keep them happy. As if that's even possible. This is the way our teenagers love to learn, by watching a movie. This is the perfect movie to learn about our emotions and the importance of them in all our lives.

What if you don't know how to handle a situation with your teenager? Does that mean you are not a good parent?
Not even close
This episode is all about releasing the pressure of needing to have all the answers and why our brain likes to tell us that we should.
When we are open to the fact that we can't be everything to our children and also we can't know everything, there is an instant pressure release.

I've been really ANGRY lately! I admit it and it took me by surprise. I haven't felt this way in quite some time and being faced with it was a good reminder about how important it is to make space for ALL of the feelings "good" and "bad".
In this episode I will highlight why this is so important and how actually letting it be there can allow you to move through the emotion faster.
