Cultivating Resilient Teens Podcast

Does your teenage daughter avoid certain people or situations?

Today we’re going to explore what it takes to raise a Socially Intelligent and Resilient Teenager.

And give you 5 questions that’ll help her confidently walk into any situation. 

Because, as you know, teenage girls are very social creatures. 

And, creating solid connections IS the name of the game.

But sometimes it can be tough to…

·     reach out to prospective new friend 

·     join a group activity 

·     or insert yourself into a social situation.

Especially if she feels she’s invisible or like they’re intentionally leaving her out 

Because if there’s one thing I hear from my clients regularly,

 it’s that even if she really wants to belong,  

it’s hard to constantly take that social and emotional risk and put yourself “out there.”

Thankfully, with the introduction of Social and Emotional Intelligence in many schools, it’s gotten easier to talk about the importance of understanding your daughter’s internal operating system.

You can find the full article titled, How to Raise a Socially Intelligent and Resilient Teenager on my website, cultivatingresilientteens.com or on Thrive Global and Medium, the publication.

Is your teenage daughter’s lack of engagement right now making you feel like you’re at a bit of a loss?

And not quite sure how to handle things?  

For many of my clients, and honestly myself included, that unsettling feeling you get when things feel out of control can really strike a loud emotional cord.

Because when if your daughter isn’t really talking to you, it’s super easy to make assumptions.

As parents, it’s a natural tendency to push, pull and plea, just to get a glimpse into her world.

So, if you’re wondering …

Yes, some of the rumors are true, parenting a teenage girl can make you feel like you’re balancing on the wobbly slope-of-uncertainty.

Because she’s establishing her tribe outside the family and relying on her friends, rather than you, for advice.

But, please - don’t be fooled by her aloof attitude, eye rolls or sass.

And, don’t hand in your resignation just yet.

It’s one hundred percent true that unraveling her behavior can be challenging.
I want to offer you a tool that’ll give you some clarity.

It’ll help you understand:

·     what’s developmentally normal 

·     where your daughter’s thriving

·     and where she may want to raise her emotional awareness 

So, she can be as happy as she wants and deserves to be.
