Good News About Your Teen+
👇 Podcast: Parenting Your "Nearly Grown" JUST. GOT. EASIER.👇
#107 Since your teen's brain is still connecting, how can you help them wire it up even stronger? Here are 7 Ideas
(without being a helicopter parent)
emotional decisions vs logical?
memory challenges?
multi-tasking not there yet?
While we look at the above list and cringe, it might describe that young adult in your house fairly accurately.
Once you know the "why" that many scientists are explaining to us about this age (generally teen-25+) it changes how we look and how we can relate to our almost grown child. The opportunity to help strengthen skills they need while they finish "wiring up" is big.
How to Use This Knowledge
With knowledge comes power, of course. Research suggests that this age still learns at a much faster rate than we adults. Add in the fact that they can still improve skills they haven't really developed much yet, and you've got a recipe for success.
Obviously, you can't follow your teen around everywhere and teach 24/7. Nor would you want to. But there are simple things you can work in as you spend time with them.
In this podcast, you'll find out:
- 7 ways to help your teen grow and strengthen logical thoughts, memories, and synthesizing data
- why skills learned and practiced at this age increase their mastery of that skill
As always, if you think your teen needs help on a professional level, please seek it out.
Just knowing and understanding why your teen thinks the way they do is a parent game-changer. Of course, it also means you think differently than they do. So when you think to yourself about your child "who is this person?" you can now think they are likely "normal" and so are you.
As always,
You CAN Have Success in the Middle of it ALL
