Hey Parents, What\\u2019s your daughter most important asset?

Welcome back the Cultivating Resilient Teens Podcast.

Today we\\u2019re diving in a little deeper to an issue we touched on in last week\\u2019s podcast, Ep \\u2013 28 How to Break Free from Thinking Errors that Wreck Your Daughter\\u2019s Confidence.

Because, interestingly, even though your daughter may think she\\u2019s the only feeling one insecure or being left out, I promise you that no one is immune to those tricky thought errors we talked about last week.

Thought Error #5

Especially Thought Error #5, using \\u201clabels\\u201d to classify herself or others, can really be detrimental to your daughter\\u2019s growth.

So, today we\\u2019re offering a bite-sized solution to protect your daughter\\u2019s most important asset \\u2013 her sense of self.

As we\\u2019ve talked about in previous episodes, developing a strong sense of self is one of the most important ways to empower your teenage daughter to build confidence, integrity and resilience for all of her adventures in life.

Think About it This Way

Because when you think about it, every single thing she says and does \\u2013 her attitude, her happiness, her motivation, her relationships, her success \\u2013 all revolve around how your daughter:

  • sees herself
  • what she thinks about herself
  • and how she talks TO and ABOUT herself

So, building a solid personal foundation, or a strong sense of self, will enable her to understand critical thought habits and patterns. \\xa0

4 Steps to Cultivating a Resilient Teen

And right now, your daughter\\u2019s life is primarily influenced by, what I refer to as, the 4 Steps to Cultivating a Resilient Teen:

  • her sense of self
  • how meaningful her educational experiences are
  • the nature of your parent / daughter connection
  • And her social network \\u2013 the people she surrounds herself

So, if your daughter\\u2019s life experiences and the people she\\u2019s around are throwing around labels, to classify her, or others, it\\u2019s going to influence how she sees herself and talks to and about herself.

Due to the negative emotions \\u201clabeling\\u201d brings up, we\\u2019re focusing instead on how to equip your daughter with the GRIT and GUMPTION she needs to win this war-on-words.

The Heart of the Matter

So, let\\u2019s get to the heart of the matter with two thoughtful questions ...
