Hey Parents,

What do the happiest teens have in common?

We all have defining moments in life when we stop and think - seriously, what\\u2019s this all about?

So, picture this \\u2026 a line of 6th graders nervously perched in the front of the classroom.\\xa0

It\\u2019s time for the annual Spelling Bee.

My name was called first.

I gasped.

The rest is a blur, well, except for laughter echoing around me.

Which is why Jim Kwik, is one of my favorite resources because he reminds us, \\u201cThese times can define us, diminish us, or develop us.\\u201d

Welcome back to the Cultivating Resilient Teens podcast, episode #24.

Where we\\u2019re excited to give your daughter what she needs to develop her confidence, integrity and resilience for all of life\\u2019s adventures, rather than feeling defined or diminished by the all the social influences, inequalities, and labels (ug, the labels!).

In my private coaching practice, where I work with teenage girls from 12 years to twenty something, all over the US \\u2013 there\\u2019s definitely pattern.\\xa0

Maybe you\\u2019re seeing this pattern too?

It begins around the fifth grade; you see your daughter\\u2019s environment begin to infiltrate her sense of self and limit her potential.\\xa0

The Power of Words

If you think about it like this \\u2026 when your daughter hears things like:

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0\\u201cShe deserved it\\u201d\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0\\u201cYou\\u2019re so basic\\u201d

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0\\u201cOmg, that was an epic failure\\u201d

It\\u2019s not easy to stand tall and design healthy social scenarios where she can thrive.

Often times a concept referred to as Confirmation Bias sneaks in and offers evidence, albeit biased and irrational, to support any negative, self-defeating thoughts.

And then, without really knowing \\u2013 and maybe even without her consent \\u2013 these thoughts become your daughters\\u2019 beliefs.

A Better Way

So, I ask you, if your daughter knew how to take life\\u2019s defining moments and allow them to develop her confidence and resilience and heighten her integrity \\u2026 would she be up for it?

If you\\u2019re listening every week, you\\u2019re probably familiar with my Signature Coaching Program, 90 Days to a More Resilient Teen, where we tap into the four steps to cultivate a resilient teen.

One of the most important steps for teenage girls is developing a strong sense of self.

So if you\\u2019re a new listener, you may want to take a minute and grab the 3-2-1 Method in Episode #16 Does Your Teenage Daughter Need a Strong Sense of Self to be Successful in Life?

For access to the FULL Show Notes, please visit my\\xa0 website, https://cultivatingresilientteens.com/\\xa0

You'll be glad you did, because when your daughter\\u2019s mind is clear, developing a strong sense of self is easy.\\xa0

And when it feels easy, it flows.

And when it flows, it feels good.

And when it feels good \\u2013 it sticks.

Focusing on what\\u2019s most important and then taking inspired action will stick.

And that\\u2019s how you empower your teenage daughter to build confidence, integrity and resilient for all of life\\u2019s adventures.\\xa0

Until next week, remember, every experience you have is perfect for your growth.
