Ep 29 A Bite-Sized Solution to Protect your Daughter’s Most Important Asset

Hey Parents, What’s your daughter most important asset?

Welcome back the Cultivating Resilient Teens Podcast.

Today we’re diving in a little deeper to an issue we touched on in last week’s podcast, Ep – 28 How to Break Free from Thinking Errors that Wreck Your Daughter’s Confidence.

Because, interestingly, even though your daughter may think she’s 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 “labels” to classify herself or others, can really be detrimental to your daughter’s growth.

So, today we’re offering a bite-sized solution to protect your daughter’s most important asset – her sense of self.

As we’ve 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 – her attitude, her happiness, her motivation, her relationships, her success – 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.  

4 Steps to Cultivating a Resilient Teen

And right now, your daughter’s 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 – the people she surrounds herself

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

Due to the negative emotions “labeling” brings up, we’re 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
