Hey parents,
Welcome back to episode #9
Before we dive into today\\u2019s episode I wanted to take a minute to say thank so much for reaching out and letting me know how valuable episodes #7 and 8 were for you and your daughter.
It\\u2019s not always easy to talk about the tough stuff,\\xa0 especially right now, with so many teenagers\\xa0

• trying to navigate the back-and-forth-to-school\\xa0
• and keeping their spirits up even though they\\u2019re missing out on so many important rites of passage

The upside is there\\u2019s definitely some solace in knowing that you\\u2019re not alone.

We all struggle with what to do sometimes, but INDECISION can become an epidemic in the teenage years because there\\u2019s a lot at stake.

Chances are, there\\u2019s been a time or two when you\\u2019ve had an interaction with your daughter that looks something like you asking \\u2026 \\u201cwhy don\\u2019t you stop scrolling through your phone and make some plans with your friends?

And then you either hear crickets, catch a sideways glance, or hear a muttered, \\u201cuh, I don\\u2019t know.\\u201d

But, I think it\\u2019s important for you to know that \\u201cI don\\u2019t know\\u201d IS a real response.

And it can mean many, many things, depending on\\xa0

• if your daughter has been hurt by her friends in the past
• or if her tribe is in the midst of some tribal unrest

So even though your daughter really wants that happy, connected feeling, taking a risk \\u2013 socially and emotionally right now - may feel like too much.

But the good news is, she CAN definitely learn to move through her \\u201cI don\\u2019t know\\u201d and confidently make a decision, no matter how difficult her situation may be.

First, I\\u2019d like to encourage her to try the 3 Practical Approaches we talked about in Episode #5 How to Turn Your Daughter\\u2019s Fears into Opportunities to Grow.

One of the best ways to bust through the walls of indecision and feel confident about her decisions is to combine the 3 Practical Approaches and to equip your daughter with-The Choice Tool.

The Choice Tool helps your daughter get really clear about\\xa0

• what her intentions are
• what she wants
• and what she needs

so she can make a decision that feels good to her.

The Choice Tool is 3 Key Questions:

1. \\xa0How important this decision is to you?
2. Who are you making this decision for?
3. What will you do if things go exactly as planned OR don\\u2019t quite go the way you\\u2019d hoped they would?

Head over to my website Cultivating Resilient Teens to learn how to put the 3 Key Questions into practice.\\xa0
