The Inner Voice of the Parent Becomes the Outer Voice to the Child

18m · Raising Mothers of Teens · 24 Apr 13:00

Have you ever done something and thought to yourself, “Oh my gosh, I'm so my mom right now?”

This happens because, things are CAUGHT not TAUGHT.  By consistently being in the presence or same environment as someone, you will naturally pick up on their patterns, habits and ways of doing things.

When patterns, habits and ways of doing things are repeated so often they become ingrained and an unconscious pattern or habit.  This means you end up doing the same things without even thinking about it!

The same is true when it comes to the parent-child relationship!  The parent’s inner voice becomes the outer voice to the child.

The way the parent talks to themselves when they make mistakes, have a bad day, feel anxious or stressed, is unconsciously the way they will talk to their teen when they also have a bad day, are anxious, stressed, or make a mistake. 

The expectations a parent has for themselves will also be the unconscious expectations they place on their teen. 

You may be thinking, “How can I change that?” 

In this episode I will share with you three things that you can implement today to start nurturing yourself and CHANGING the way that you talk to yourself and ultimately your teen.

The episode The Inner Voice of the Parent Becomes the Outer Voice to the Child from the podcast Raising Mothers of Teens has a duration of 18:33. It was first published 24 Apr 13:00. The cover art and the content belong to their respective owners.

The Importance of an Apology

Have you ever reacted and then thought to yourself, “Dang I owe my teen an apology!”

Ya me to!  If you are anything like the “old me” I used to apologize because it's what you’re “supposed to do!”  Even though I would always apologize, I was always puzzled why the relationship with my children still seemed fractured.

In this episode I am going to share with you the two things you can do to ensure your apology repairs and heals the parent child relationship!

Let Go and Lean In

Entering the teen years is like walking into unknown territory! 

When faced with unknowns, naturally conscious and unconscious fears arise within us. 

Whenever fear rears its head you can expect control to show up!  We think, by controlling a situation or person we can get rid of the fear of unknowns.   Ultimately our need to control is one of the many faces of the ego that shows up as a way to protect us.  One of the big things the ego in the form of control protects us from is feeling like we failed as a parent.

In this episode I am going to share with you three things you can implement as you enter unknown territory of the teen years that will take fear and control out of the driver seat and put peace and connection in its place.  These three things will invite you to “Let Go and Lean In” so the parent teen relationship becomes deeply connected!
