How to help your Teens become more RESPONSIBLE and make RESPONSIBLE CHOICES
How do we raise teenagers who are responsible and make responsible choices?
Embracing a sense of responsibility is key to the choices that teenagers make on a daily basis. When they build the skill of always checking in within themselves before making choices, it helps them in life.
Nurturing that sense of responsibility isn't something that is forced on them. It comes from the subtle ways that we speak to them, the ways that we respond to them and the ways we listen to them. It's hidden in these relationship gems. In this episode, I share ways in which we, as parents and other caregivers, can help nurture this sense of responsibility in our teens.
It pays off for them. They go on to make better decisions, surround themselves with the right people and live thriving lives.

Why our teenagers are sometimes not listening when we give them that great advice and the solution that will change it all
Sometimes, we worry about our teenagers, which is okay, but one common mistake we sometimes tend to make is giving our teens advice from that worried point of view.
In this episode, I share a missing link between the worries and the giving advice. This missing link will change the outcome of what we share with them. They will listen more, and the chances of them reflecting on what we shared will be much higher.
Try it, and let's hear the changes you notice.

Unlocking Parenting Success: 4 Key Decisions for the New Year
DECISIONS
Every parenting relationship thrives or fails based on parents' decisions in their relationship with their children. Some parents assume that their job is done as long as they provide a roof for their children, feed them, and ensure they are educated.
This approach does nothing to nurture the relationship, and the parental influence is mostly lost by the teenage years.
What decisions do we need to make in 2024 to ensure that our relationship thrives and that our children become responsible adults in society?
In this episode, I speak about the four decisions that are game-changers in 2024. These decisions will help your children's emotional and social development.
Happy New Year !!!
Lots of Love

How to have Peace of Mind in Parenting Teens
In today's episode, we explore the topic of "How to Have Peace of Mind Parenting Teens." Peace of Mind in Parenting Teens? Is that for real or is Phinnah pulling our legs on this one?
Lol 😂 yes it’s for real.
Yes you and I know that parenting can often be a rollercoaster ride, filled with countless decisions, worries, and moments of self-doubt. It's natural to feel overwhelmed at times, but it's essential to prioritize our own well-being as parents. After all, when we take care of ourselves, we can better care for our children.
Peace of Mind in parenting is therefore a very essential piece of the parenting puzzle.
In this episode, we will share practical tips to help you find peace of mind in your parenting journey.

How to gain back your voice of Influence as a parent
The world has gotten noisier with so many voices to contend with.
Also, our lives have become so much busier and it has an affect on our tolerance levels.
The more we yell, the more we drown out our voices of influence.
My encouragement is for us to pause and question ourselves before the yelling gets out.
“Is what we are rightfully upset or frustrated about worth losing our voice of influence for? “
If your answer is no, then come back to that issue later on. If it’s yes, I have no suggestion 😉.
But you get my point right? 🥰
Our voices of influence is what will help our teens navigate better through their adolescence years. Protect it at all costs. That cost includes doing the work and putting in the effort to cut down our reaction times and choose intentional responses instead.
Our latest 4 weeks parent group coaching coming up from Nov 3rd is a non judgemental led space where I will be helping a group of parents gain back their voices of influence and restore peace and motivation and success in their homes.

A truth behind some of these challenging behaviours from teens
How to help our children build up their SENSE OF SELF
As our children settle into school for their new school year, one of the aspects of their lives that will help them navigate life in school and beyond is state of their SENSE OF SELF.
How they see themselves, how healthy their self esteem is, how confident they are in themselves.
This plays a very vital role in the choices they make, the behaviours they display and the amount of influence they allow people to have over them.
How can we help them build a healthier sense of self and what can get in the way of us supporting them in this arena?
That’s what I discuss in this episode.

How to help your Teens curb their limiting beliefs (Video Version)
Limiting belief mostly stems from criticisms, past judgements and failures. Most challenging negative behaviours can be traced to some form of limiting belief. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how parents can help their teens by intentionally focusing on filling up the Positive Emotional Bank of their teens.
Teens with more to draw out of their positive emotional bank are likely more resilient than teens with more limiting beliefs.

How to support your tweens and teens during their mood swings
3 Ways to help your Teens learn how to Self- Regulate
Behind most of those anger reactions we see in teenagers also lies their inabilities to self regulate their emotions. Many of them haven't learnt how, they haven't been modeled to in greater details and they haven't been supported in times of their anger outbursts.
When teenagers learn how to self regulate, they can be better friends to their friends, they can get along with others in social settings and they can avoid getting into trouble in schools or on the streets.
In this episode, I share some practical ways parents/carers can help their children/ teens learn and practice self regulation.
I trust these points will help you get started in teaching them self regulation.
