I'm back with Part 2 of the Unhelpful Parenting Thoughts series!
This week we are looking at the thought "They should know better". Sounds like an OK reasonable thought but again we will be looking below the surface of this to see how it's working against you and your relationship with just about anybody you think this about.
I will go through why it makes sense we think this, when we think this most often and some ways to come up with a slightly more helpful thought.

We've all heard about creating action plans, but what about creating a plan for how to think? I get it, I always want to know what to do in any situation. What I have found though is that it is more important for me to know what I am thinking about any situation that comes up. This can then lead to better outcomes because I'm taking action from a more managed emotional state.
Here's the plan I talk about in this episode
1. What is the situation that triggers you?
2. How do you want to feel about this situation?
3. What could you think about this that could lead you to feel this way?
4. What actions would you be able to take if you were thinking and feel this way? How might these actions be better than those you have taken in the past.
5. How might this thought and feeling help you show up the way you want to as a parent?

Why are my old ways of parenting not working anymore? What's happening now that I have a teenager that I feel like I've lost all of my parenting skills? You are not alone in this thinking.
As our teenagers grow and change, so must we. It's not easy though and we can be so resistant to this. It makes sense that we resist it but it also doesn't help make our parenting journey any easier.
In this episode I will share a helpful metaphor for this changing role and the reasons we may be revisiting this change. I will also share some things you can do right now to bring some awareness to this. Change is hard and it's hard for our teenagers and us alike. Take heart, you are both going through massive changes in your relationship with each other.

Love yourself and others unconditionally they say..... This is simple in concept but harder in practical terms. There is so much that comes up in our brains when we are told to love ourselves. My hope for this episode is that you can begin to see a glimmer that this is possible for ourselves. We are usually the hardest people to love.
Who else can be tough to love at times? Well, teenagers, I mean we love them but sometimes we don't love them, love them. If you want to practise unconditional love, your teenagers will give you plenty of opportunity to practise.

Why don't people come with an instruction manual? Especially our teenagers. Well they do, but the kicker is that we have made it up for them ourselves. We have ideas about everyone we interact with according to our own world view.
In this episode I explain this concept and how it has helped me view and improve the relationships with all of the people in my life.

Anger feels good sometimes. We usually don't continue doing things that aren't working for us in some way. This episode is looking at the ways in which we like to keep our anger and the ways anger helps us feel empowered sometimes.
What about when it doesn't work though and it is harming our most important relationships? What do we do then. In this episode I teach you how to identify and work with righteous anger. We all have it and we all like to be right. I know I do but do we want to be right at the risk of the connection with our loved ones?

Remember when they were little and cute? What happened? Where did they go and when are they coming back?
I've thought these thoughts and I bet you have too. What emotion does this bring up for you?
In this episode I talk about processing difficult emotions, why it helps and why we often don't want to do it.
After listening you will be able to name the emotion that's coming up and have a framework for how to process it and allow it to be there. This is an amazing skill to have and one that can be learned.

At some point in my parenting journey it came to me that I have been treating my kids as projects to get an A on. When we want to do well on something we become so goal-oriented and "to-do list focused" that we forget sometimes that we are dealing with human beings who are a constant work in progress.
Join me in today's episode where I discuss my journey with this and the simple solution to seeing parenting from a different perspective.

When someone asks you how you're doing, what do you usually say?
Fine? Good?
It's easier right, then explaining how we are actually feeling.
If it's true for us, it's true for our teenagers. In this episode I go over why we do this in some detail and how to encourage an open space for our teenagers to share what's really going on for them. There are some connection builders in here for sure. You don't want to miss this and Happy New Year!
