Parenting Support - Just for You
The SPS Blog — Just for You — contains practical coaching tips and advise for parents of teens and young adults. (PS: There's tons of good info for any parent who wants to learn, grow and hone their parenting skills.)
While the broad idea of letting go might not fit neatly under the "little things" umbrella, the self-talk that accompanies it absolutely does. It’s that quiet, almost invisible conversation with yourself that makes all the difference when life doesn’t go according to plan.
Simply put, being conscious means being aware—awake to the present moment, making decisions with a wise mind that balances both the practical and the emotional.
If these “little big things” can make a difference in how I show up for myself, imagine how they could impact the way I show up for my family.
Embracing a growth mindset allows one to see mistakes as opportunities for learning and growth.
As you reflect on how to support your child, embracing your own personal growth can positively influence both your health and the overall atmosphere at home.
Research consistently shows that the role parents play in their child’s mental health is crucial for their growth and stability. Yet, many parents we work with aren’t fully ready to embrace the coaching process.
The sacred pause doesnʻt need to be scary, it can look like so many things, but ultimately is about holding the mindfulness and awareness to see our children as whole.
As we head into the summer, preparing for more time together than we are used to, be aware of some common phrases that hurt your kids more than help. Claim without shame and shift the tone of the messages that are really important to teach.
We encourage parents to form a habit of critical thinking, through tools like out Book of Asks, to help slow the process down and have an approach that embraces delayed gratification, responsibility and addressing pros and cons.
