Hey Parents,

Is your teenage daughter feeling a bit overwhelmed by \\u2018all the things\\u2019 right now?

  • what\\u2019s going on around her?\\xa0
  • how she fits into her world?
  • and how to be okay with missing something?

The fear of missing out and the fear of messing up are REAL for teenage girls.

And seem to be a hot button issue right now.

Thankfully we\\u2019re back to in-person learning here in the US, though, like every new beginning, there are some residual pandemic issues that are still being ironed out.\\xa0

One of the issues I\\u2019m hearing a lot about from the teenage girls enrolled in my 90 Days to a More Resilient Teen Coaching Programis that even though they\\u2019re surrounded by their peers, they are feeling socially disconnected and lonely.

So, I was curious to learn more.\\xa0

Why, even though they are physically together again, and ready for new and deeper relationships, these girls are reporting:\\xa0

  • a lack of confidence as to how to take the next step\\xa0
  • and often feel stifled by the fear and uncertainty their efforts won\\u2019t be reciprocated

Recap

Okay, let\\u2019s quickly recap today\\u2019s key points.

If your daughter is like most teenage girls, she may be feeling socially disconnected and a bit lonely, even though she\\u2019s back to in-person learning.

The most effective way to begin to build the deeper connection she\\u2019s ready for, is to simply be aware of if she\\u2019s bringing her past wounds into her present environment and try the 3-2-1 strategy so she can redirect, reconnect and redesign her relationships.

And, if seeing her struggle this triggering for you, simply recognize that\\u2019s a natural response and try asking her what would be helpful in this situation.

Lastly, please, please, please remember that when you approach \\u2018all the things\\u2019 with the attitude that you\\u2019re here to learn, you can\\u2019t do this wrong.

It\\u2019s truly about learning and growing together.\\xa0

Until next time, here\\u2019s to cultivating a more resilient teen.
