3 things to stop telling yourself as a Teen Parent

3 things to stop telling yourself as a Teen Parent

We're all guilty of it, the thoughts that actually make life harder in the long run, but in the moment feel so normal.
You can help yourself by catching yourself sabotaging this part of Parenting. Sadly the media and society are riddled with messages like this (and I get a rant can be helpful sometimes!) But these thoughts can become beliefs and then this all becomes a whole lot harder!
Hope it helps!
