Letting Go of Expectations [Boosting Teen Self-Esteem In The Home]
Description
This month, in honor of Teen Self-Esteem Month, I'll be running a series of podcasts aimed at things you can do in the home to boost your teenager's self-esteem. Today we talk about Letting Go Of Expectations, which can be hard for parents, because there will be certain things you'd like to expect of your teen.
The truth is, however, that when we expect others (teens, partners, spouse, friends, etc.) to do, say or act a certain way...it's often ourselves that ends up disappointed.
By letting go of how you expect them to show up, and recognizing that is out of your control, it can help to avoid triggers on your part; which, in turn can lessen the possibility of getting saying or doing something that might inadvertently impact their self-esteem.
