APPS You can use to save Time, Money, and Stress Keeping all your kids sporting events organized can be daunting. Here are 7 apps that savvy sport parents and coaches are using to keep on track!

6 | WWW.PARENTTEENS.CLUB

Being the parent of a child athlete is no easy task. Not only do you have to make sure your Olympian-in-themaking gets to practice on time, but you also end up being a key member of the team yourself — suddenly people are counting on you to practice with your child at home, drive players to their gameday locations, and even chaperone out-of-town trips. With all the other responsibilities you already have on your plate from being a parent, you probably need all the help you can get!

Luckily, if you're an overworked sports parent in need of some assistance, there's an app for that! From transportation to meal planning, to coordinating schedules and game snacks, to the woes of team funding, here are five of the best apps to make life easier for busy sports parents and coaches in 2020:

TEAMSNAP This app works to make life easier for coaches, managers, group leaders, and organizers by sorting everything into one connected solution. From setting up rosters, lineups, and invoices, to notifying your team about last-minute changes, this app saves you time and keeps you organized!Â

VENMOÂ When it comes to transferring money and splitting bills, Venmo has been making everyone's lives easier for years.

Through this app, sports parents can collect money for team gifts or year-end pizza parties as well as split up the costs of groceries, dinner, or hotel bills during out of town tournaments.

FLIPGIVE The FlipGive app is definitely a fan favorite among youth sports families. A free team funding platform for sports teams and parents, it requires zero effort and time for families to save money on their everyday expenses and earn cashback on the things they're already spending money on!

WAZE An essential for road trips to out-of-town tournaments or even just making it to regular scheduled practices and games on time, Waze is a GPS navigation app that goes above and beyond your average turn-by-turn navigation by providing real-time traffic updates, alerts when objects are in the road, notifications about detours and red light cameras, and more.

GAMECHANGER Can't make it to one of your kid's games? This app helps you keep up in real-time by providing live play-by-plays, in-game alerts, and recaps of your child's baseball, softball, or basketball games.

GOKID Say ‘goodbye’ to chains of texts or complicated spreadsheets related to carpooling. GoKid is a family organization app that makes scheduling and managing shared rides with other families easy and secure.

COACHNOW From little league to the major leagues, this all-in-one platform was created specifically for coaches who are passionate about coaching smarter, who want to manage their time better, and better enable themselves to change lives on and off the playing field.

School issues such as behavioral, teachers, friends, bullying, anxiety, suspension, depression, motivation

Three Tips to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting with Your Teen: #1 Review your languageWhat kind of language are you using on a daily basis with your teens?

Do your words portray an attitude that is sarcastic, impatient, overwhelming, or rude? If so, take note then just make a conscious effort to change your language. Try to include words that are mostly kind, respectful, positive, confident, and supportive.

#2 Check your expectationsDo you hold your teen to standards that are appropriate and comparable to others of their same age? Ask yourself, if what you’ve requested of your teen is completed immediately, or can you work together to set a new time limit? Finally, if they seem overwhelmed, see if there is a way you can help your teen meet your expectations.

#3 Check in with yourselfIs there something going on in your world that is causing you to take your anger out on your teen? Have you taken any time for yourself lately or do you feel like you are at your wit’s end? Notice what comes up, and see if walking away and coming back to the situation more level headed is what you need right now.

All About Teen Anxiety

the pelvic floor

Q & A with Kaitlin Boyd, Registered Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Function First

Question

I keep hearing a lot of talk about pelvic floor physiotherapy. I have friends that go or have been and I feel like I am in the dark! What on earth is the pelvic floor and why is it so important? What is a pelvic floor physiotherapist?

Before understanding what pelvic floor physiotherapy really is, it is essential to understand what the heck everyone is talking about when they refer to the pelvic floor.

The simplest way to understand the muscles of the pelvic floor is to think of them as the muscles that hold everything up and in your body - they act kind of like a sling.

That “everything” refers to the pelvic organs which are the bladder, rectum and uterus (women).

This group of muscles spans front to back from the pubic bone to the tailbone.

They also go side to side between the two “sit” bones, which are the boney parts you can feel in contact with the chair when you are sitting down.

These muscles have four very important functions: 1. Sphincteric: control the openings of the urethra (urine), vagina and rectum so that we can maintain continence (not have any leaks or accidents) 2. Sexual: play a role in orgasm, provide tone to the walls of the vagina and rectum 3. Stability: stabilize the joints in our pelvis, which includes how our spine attaches to the pelvis 4. Sump-pump: play a role in maintaining proper blood flow for the pelvis

With so many different and important functions, it’s not surprising that if the pelvic floor isn’t working optimally many unwanted symptoms can be experienced!

This can include: incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pain.

It’s a common misconception to think that performing Kegels is always the answer when experiencing pelvic floor symptoms. But, this is not necessarily the case. Like any other muscle in the body, the pelvic floor can be weak or tight. If the muscles are weak, then Kegels may be helpful. If they are tight, however, Kegels won’t be effective in improving one’s symptoms.

Since this is not always straightforward, it is often helpful to seek the advice of a pelvic health physiotherapist. A pelvic floor physiotherapist is a physiotherapist who has taken additional training in how to assess and treat conditions that affect the pelvis and the pelvic floor muscles. They have also been trained how to optimally assess these muscles by performing an internal vaginal and/or rectal exam. This is important because the muscles of the pelvic floor are inside the body. Not surprisingly, they can be a great addition to your health care team if you are experiencing conditions or symptoms related to the pelvic floor!

M , l e i t n o M Sonja COLLEGE CONFIDENCE What do you do?

While maintaining a compassionate relationship, I train parents to become the best educator for their teens so they can feel confident about plans after high school.

What issues do you deal with?

I focus on communication skills and knowledge specific to helping your teens create a plan ready to implement as they approach high school graduation. Topics include college affordability, college admissions options, career training, identifying the right majors for teens, building the college list, college essay writing strategies, and so much more!

What can I expect?

Let’s schedule a 30-minute call to talk about your needs and your starting point! We will determine which service plan is best for you which can include our: comprehensive workbook with action plans, templates, and agenda samples, online podcast training program if you are always on the go, 10-session online parent course, and/or one-to-one coaching

How can you help?

Helping teens plan their paths after high school can create tension and conflict in the home mostly because families are waiting too late to begin, or there isn’t enough information on what the options are, what requirements fulfill each option, and how to engage with teens to ignite their motivation to be active in making a plan. As an expert in the field of college admissions for 20 years, I will provide training and coaching that places teens at the center of planning. Parents and teens will no longer have to face this educational journey with uncertainty, worry, and confusion!

What other parents say about me “Sonja gave me the communication tools to allow me to take charge of the college process. I was familiar with the college application process, however was clueless on how to have impactful and meaningful conversations with my teen. My daughter and I are so much more closer! Thank you so much!”

“I have been working with College Confidence for years and I truly will not work with anyone else. Sonja's experience is unmatched. She is professional and an expert in college admissions. She will not only advocate for your child, but will be a critical pillar in your family's journey. She's that good!”

“Thank you again for your wonderful presentation/talk for our group. I feel we all (parents and students) learned quite a bit from you that night. My daughter and I both agreed the way you presented the college process, was with a lot of positive influence and enthusiasm. You made it sound challenging about writing ‘your story’ but in a way that made the girls feel special and that it is ok to like yourself and tell college why they would benefit from the you as the applicant. To go for it!”

f e b a t l A Helaina TAME THE TEEN What do you do?

I am a parent educator and coach. I have a Crash Course for parents of teens about Authoritative Parenting.

What is Authoritative Parenting?

It's the balance between high expectations and high emotional availability. It's the sweet spot between old school and new school, and kids who are raised by these kinds of parents are most successful across the board.

How can you help?

The teen years get a bad rap-they don't have to be miserable! I help you understand your teen and improve how you communicate. Once you learn and implement new tools, your power struggles will disappear.

What can I expect?

No judgement, excellent listening skills, fresh perspective and practical strategies.

What other parents say about Helaina Prior to taking Tame the Teen's Crash Course, my greatest struggle was staying calm in the face of my kids' emotional storms. Now that I've taken the course, I know how to remove myself from a heated situation and address is it a more rational way from a place of calm. I've learned more about how teenagers think and feel, and am more empathetic even when I disagree with them. I would recommend this course to all parents of teens who need a lifeline! Paula S, New Jersey Prior to taking TtT's Crash Course, my greatest struggles were communicating effectively with my teenage daughters, setting limits on screen time and getting my daughters to help around the house.

Now that I've taken the Course, I've learned how to be more effective in communicating with them and how to set appropriate boundaries. I’ve gotten a lot of tips on setting limits on screen time.

I’ve also learned many helpful little tips on just dealing with my teens generally.

Now that I have taken the course I see much less yelling and better communication at home and feel like I’ve gotten closer with my daughters and understand much more about how their teenage minds work. Michelle V, New Jersey

e p o P n o r Sha LOVE & RELATIONSHIP COACH

What do you do?

Professionally, I am… A certified Master Life Coach helping women (and a few brave men) improve, heal or release their struggling marriages. I am a seven-time international best-selling author on love and relationships. I’ve been published dozens of times in various publications, including The New York Times. And I’m just getting started…

What issues do you deal with?

I’m the relationship coach for anyone struggling in a lonely and disconnected marriage.

If you’re seeking confidence and clarity, I can help you fix your marriage or move forward without regret.

How can you help?

If you’re seeking confidence and clarity, I can help you fix your marriage or move forward without regret.

What can I expect?

I offer a free, 45 minute Truth & Clarity session to see if we are a good fit. If we are a match to work together, we schedule our calls.

You also get access to some of my best tools and concepts. I help women either transform their relationship or get absolute clarity within 8 weeks that their answer is to lovingly release the marriage.

What my clients say about me.

“This was the best money I have ever spent. If you would have told me I would be this clear about my marriage eight weeks ago, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

“Working with Sharon has completely changed my marriage. After 22 years of struggling to understand each other and on the brink of divorce, she taught me how to do things differently and in turn, saved my marriage (and my sanity).”

From Sharon to you!

It doesn’t matter where you’re at right now – married-but-feeling-alone and wondering if this is the end, reeling from an affair, or longing to feel more connected to your husband and wondering if there’s a way back – you’re hurting and unhappy, stuck and most likely terrified.

In my Marriage Coaching Practice, I interact with women every day who feel stuck in disconnected and unhappy marriages for years – sometimes decades.

They stay for reasons they believe are real and justified. For some, it’s the kids.

For many, it’s fear. Big, hairy, “OMG, I don’t know if I can face this” fear…

Or “I’m afraid I’ll be alone forever” fear…

Or the “Is this all there is?” fear; maybe the grass isn’t greener…

For some, it’s simply easier to stay stuck, because then they never have to take any scary action one way or the other.

I have seen example after example of how the smallest changes to my parenting styles have led to a blossoming in my daughter's heart and mind. A huge thank you to Tia for having such an impact on our family as a whole.” - A.M.

I feel more confident in my own abilities and I know that when my family hits the inevitable bumps in the road, I have a wonderful safe place to gain more wisdom.” - C.S. “I never could have understood the lasting effects my sessions with Tia would have. I understood that I was investing in a long-term process. My hope was that it would offer me different tools to use for parenting. I had no way to truly understand the deep and rich connection it would afford me with my children. A good friend recently remarked about my teenage daughter "You know she really loves you. She looks up to you and knows she can trust you." Wow! The rewards of my investment in this work have paid for themselves more than I could have asked for." - M.A.

Taking care of my

Vagina!

Q & A with Kaitlin Boyd, Registered Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Function First

Question

I often see commercials on TV advertising special products that are said to maintain feminine hygiene. I have never used anything like this, but am worried now that I should be! Maybe there are other things I don’t know about taking care of my vagina? Please help!

These are very common concerns and questions that many women have, but frankly we are often afraid to talk about them with each other! Firstly, many women often mix up or are confused by the terms vagina and vulva. When referring to the genitals on the outside of a woman’s body the term vulva applies. The vagina is inside the body and connects the vulva to the uterus.

When we are talking about things like feminine hygiene products, we are usually talking about their application to the vulva.

The vulva/vagina is often described as a self-cleaning oven! This means that water is enough to keep it clean. It is recommended that women avoid the use of feminine products such as douches, powders, deodorant sprays and wipes. These simply are not necessary and can irritate the vulva. If your skin is sensitive, or you are prone to infections, it is also wise to eliminate bubble baths or other bath products. If you are experiencing vaginal dryness, however, there are some good moisturizers that can be purchased to help with this complaint.

To maintain vulvar health, it is important to keep the area dry. To maintain air circulation, it is helpful to choose underwear that are made of cotton as this is a breathable fabric. Do not spend long periods of time in wet bathing suits or sweaty clothing, as this again increases exposure to moisture. Another important behaviour occurs, not surprisingly, in the bathroom. After urinating or having a bowel movement, it is important to wipe from front to back. This prevents bacteria from the anal region from travelling towards the vulvar area which can cause a urinary tract infection. Along the same line, if you are prone to such infections it many be wise to avoid wearing thongs as they too could track bacteria from anus to vulva.

Good argument can also be made for simply just taking a look! Women are often unfamiliar with this part of their bodies and never or rarely check it out.

It is important to do this because it gives you a good baseline to notice changes or anything out of the ordinary. It belongs to you, so it is worth getting acquainted!

It is important to remember that that there is no one “normal” way for a vulva to look. Every one is different and unique. It is easy to feel pressured around how we care for this part of our body by what we see in the media.

Hopefully, this information will be both useful and empowering, allowing you to make the best decisions for your own vulvar health!

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FATHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP

By: Dana BakerWilliams, Parenting in Real Life

Growing up, I had a great relationship with my dad, and I love to see my husband with our daughter. They have a special bond too. They do projects together, act silly, and make terrible puns back and forth. And while we often hear more about the father-son and mother-daughter relationships, recently science has proven the great significance of the father-daughter relationship.

Between the ultrasounds, birth classes and being in the room during birth–fathers are much more present in our children’s lives than other generations were. My husband and I both read about our babyto-be’s progress and even spoke to the little one. With men now bonding with the baby-to-be right away, attachment is easier when the child arrives.

But it takes more than just showing up for a father to have a lasting, positive effect on his daughter. To see the “Father Effect” as it’s called, dads need to be involved on a daily level—changing their diapers, feeding them and playing with them. The play part is critical– as is holding them, showing warmth and giving emotional support.

The Father Effect Interestingly, the Father Effect starts to work at a very young age.

Numerous studies show that children who grow up in a household with a father show superior outcomes in intelligence tests—they tend to have higher IQ test scores by the age of 3. With higher levels of intelligence come greater happiness, success, and longevity. We all want that for our children.

That said, kids with active fathers also perform better academically and are less likely to drop out of school. Small acts such as helping with homework and encouraging daughters to take challenging courses are associated with higher levels of sociability, a higher level of school performance, and fewer behavior problems. For instance, they are less aggressive, less likely to become delinquent and less likely to end up in jail. Interestingly, they’re also more likely to have high-paying jobs when they grow up.

But the importance of dads goes well beyond academics and smarts. One of the things fathers often bring to their kids is a sense of adventure. I know that my husband has done that and it started when our kids were very young– he’d play with them and get them all riled up right at bedtime. Drove me crazy but apparently it’s a really good thing (the play, not the time of day!)

Men, in general, tend to play rougher, encourage sports, and offer more independence than some moms. For daughters to be adventurous and get out of their comfort zone, they have to be empowered to solve their problems and take ownership. They need to feel capable of taking risks and making mistakes. Fathers can help with that by telling girls they are capable and strong, and that they believe in them.

My parents always told me I could be and do anything—and that’s critical for confidence. Dads need to encourage their daughters to dream big, empower them for the future.

That empowerment and belief in them is the bedrock of a girl’s self-esteem.

Dads who provide praise, support, and unconditional love increase their daughters’ confidence. Studies show that if he thinks she is beautiful, smart, and strong, she will be more inclined to see herself that way. When they aren’t being judged for their looks and they don’t see their dad judging others on looks, girls are more satisfied with their appearance and weight.

It’s About Empowerment For young women, that selfacceptance is crucial–most girls feel less than confident with their bodies at some point. For some, this is a minor thing.

Unfortunately, for many others, it escalates. Girls with poor body images may isolate themselves socially, fret over the way they look, and lose confidence. That can lead to depression, anxiety, or eating disorders. With a loving relationship with their dad, girls are less likely to become clinically depressed or develop an eating disorder.

Most studies suggest that, until children hit puberty, the Father Effect is roughly equal for boys and girls. Both boys and girls who are fortunate enough to have dads in their lives excel and, in some cases, outperform their peers. Later, when puberty hits and hormones are raging, dads have a somewhat different impact. While both sexes look to how parents act, boys tend to see how a man is supposed to act but daughters often take away how a man should treat her.

Many psychologists believe that the way she perceives and interacts with her dad will influence a daughter’s future romantic relationships. Respectful and supportive fathers who keep their promises teach their daughters to expect that in their relationships.

Setting The Bar Dads sort of set the bar for whom their daughter dates–girls often pick those who have similar attributes to their father–and her overall quality of relationships with men. Women with a strong relationship with their father wait longer to enter a serious relationship, become sexually active, and even get married or have children later.

When it comes down to it, science has highlighted some really important points about dads, but we can all see it with our own eyes as well. I loved watching my husband read to our kids each day, play with them, take them on adventures and really show them love. Now that bond is so clear whenever they come home from college or even call on the phone.

I think it would be hard to overstate the value of the father-daughter relationship. Young women who have a positive relationship with their fathers achieve more academically. They make better relationship choices. They have more confidence, high self-esteem, and believe they can achieve their goals.⠀ It doesn’t get a lot more important than that.

Linda is my absolute go-to person when I need support, clarity and direction. She has helped me find my way through many moments I have felt lost. Linda has also helped my teen-age daughter through many typical teen-age struggles. My daughter is a much happier person after her sessions with Linda. She works with Linda on a regular basis now and is doing amazing!! Thank you Linda for the work you do. My family is very grateful to have you on our side. Jennifer Funnell (Ontario, Canada) Linda is a gifted healer - she intuitively gets to the source of my obstacles and answers questions I didn't even know how to ask. I know that I can get on a call with her and I can trust that I'll feel better in just 60 minutes. She's helped guide me ‌.to follow my intuition and trust how to be in the flow. Before our session today, I felt untethered, lost in space, disconnected from my body - anxious, fearful, and overwhelmed - and definitely not creative! After our session I felt re-inspired, like a weight was lifted off my shoulders - and I felt connected to myself again. I highly recommend you go to Linda when you need help that you can't always put words to - she'll figure it out! -Jen Pillow (British Columbia, Canada) Working with Linda is a great experience overall. Coming in to sessions and working with Linda helped me clear my mind and really think rationally after. As well it calms and relaxes your mind and body during sessions. Working with Linda really helped me think about different aspects of situations, and working on finding out more about myself. After leaving I felt very positive and clear minded always looking forward to the next session. Nicholas ~ 18 years old (Ontario, Canada)

HELP

HOW DO I MOTIVATE MY TEEN? BY: CLAIRE CETTI, PARENT COACH

How do we help motivate our teenagers?

It can be really difficult to watch our teenagers not live up to what we see or think as their potential and/or capability. It can be equally hard to sit back and watch them not act on those amazing strengths and gifts that they have.

How DO we help our teens see the potential they have and be motivated to act on them?

Here are 4 things to think about before we approach our teen about motivation.

What is your Intention?

What is your intention, or motivation, behind what you are wanting your child to do? Yes, we want our kids to be motivated and find their passion in something, and that’s fine! At the same time it’s important we separate what we want them to do, or think they should do vs what they would want to do or perhaps are thinking about doing.

Every parent wants their child to be successful in life.

They wish for their children to grow to be capable adults who are successful, able to provide for themselves and ultimately, to be happy.

And there's nothing wrong with that! It’s a beautiful dream.

The question is, do our hopes, dreams or desires we have for our children match that of our teens hopes, dreams or desires? Do we really know what their hopes, dreams and desires are?

Get Curious and Notice: Once we separate what our dreams for our teen are and realize their dreams most likely look completely different, there we can relinquish control and begin creating a space to find out more.

How can we do this?

To begin with, know teenagers don’t like too many questions. In fact, too many questions is a sure fire way to shut down any conversation pretty quickly!

What we can do is look for and take notice in what they ARE interested in.

No teen is fully unmotivated ALL of the time. Take a few steps back and look at the whole picture in the life of your teen in an entire day, week or even month. Where might there be moments you see them engaged in something. What are they doing? Who are they with? What is happening at that moment? Once we begin to notice what they are doing and what they are interested in, it can radically change how we feel about our teen opening the door for an entirely different conversation with our teen.

Get Engaged by Asking Open Ended Questions Now that you know some interests your teen has, become curious about what it is you noticed within them that lights them up. The key with talking with teens is talking WITH teens. Not AT them. This looks like getting our teens to be a part of the conversation and exploration of what not only excites them, but helps them form with their own ideas about it by offering open ended statements or questions. These types of conversation starters are at best apt to draw out information, at the least, get our teens thinking about what we are asking.

Some examples to begin with: “I noticed that you really enjoy…(xyz). What makes that so fun for you?

“Tell me about what you are doing...I’d love to learn more” “I see you really enjoy doing…(xyz)...what made you think of doing that?”

In their answers, you have an amazing opportunity to learn more about your teen, what brings them joy. Follow up with more open ended questions by asking “tell me more” or “show me more, that’s really interesting!” A teen will love being able to not only teach you, but love being seen by you in this way.

Be Patient This new way of conversing with your teen may cause them to not be sure and question where you are coming from and why. Be patient. It won’t take long until they realize you really do want to know. Let the question go unanswered and approach again another time. The seed has been planted and they are now thinking about your question. When we are impatient for and push for the answer, we are back to talking AT our teen and not WITH them. Be patient. Let the question sit for a bit. They will eventually open up to you about what they find interesting about the activity they are enjoying and want to share it with you.

Why do these steps impact motivating our teens?

True intrinsic motivation in anyone is doing something for the sake of doing it, because it feels good. It comes from within. When we are excited about something, we are driven towards it. The same goes for your teen.

The best way to get your teen to be motivated about anything is to first find out what drives them. What excites them? They may not even know what that is just yet, which is an opportunity for us to be our teens guide and influencers by helping them discover what that may be. When we truly see what drives them, it not only can change how we view our teens, it creates the opportunity for us to join them and encouraging them on their own journey of self discovery by way of patiently asking open ended questions of curiosity, thus guiding them to a sense of self-understanding, agency and connection that genuinely lights the flame of intrinsic motivation within your teen.

What do you do?

I offer the Parenting with Intention Workshop online and coach parents of teens to help them navigate their changing relationship, married couples who desire to deepen their relationship, and teens who desire to grow in resilience.

What issues do you deal with?

Relationship-Managing EmotionsNeuroplasticity-Creating ResilienceDevelopment of Powerful world changing teens

How can you help?

I help create awareness, and provide tools and strategies for developing deep, meaningful relationships with your teen, self and God, through coaching and transformational neuroscience.

What can I expect?

The Parenting With Intention Workshop is a four week workshop done on Zoom and runs quarterly.

For one on one coaching, our calls usually last 45 minutes (30 minutes for teens) and can be done from anywhere in the world. I offer a free inquiry call to see if I’m the right coach for you and your family.

What other parents say about Doreen “After applying the new things I learned, I have figured out ways to defuse situations before they ignite - which avoids unproductive arguing and I'm focused on the message I want to teach her.

This class was amazing!” Jennifer Neilson “We learned techniques to bring down the escalated emotions and instead begin productive communication where we can all learn and think constructively. More importantly, we learned great techniques on how to have healthy communication with our kids! sign up...you will not be disappointed.” Elizabeth Renna “Many times, we reacted abruptly from our own emotions. It was eye-opening to learn that we could handle situations in a completely different way. It was also helpful to learn from the other parents that we were not alone in our challenges to better connect with our teens. We learned tools that provided us with the ability to pause before reacting and to look at situations from both sides.” Elizabeth Pilla

When Your Teen Isn’t Thriving, Neither is Your Marriage By: Sharon Pope, Love and Relationship Coach

My client, who I’ll refer to as Beth, had been married to her husband Dave for 18 years when their 16-year-old son began hanging with new friends and started getting into trouble more and more frequently. He would miss his classes, he was talking back to his parents and being disrespectful and they feared he might have begun drinking or using drugs.

Not surprisingly, Beth and Dave were scared and frustrated. They had each tried everything they knew to turn the momentum of what was happening for their son in a new direction, but it wasn’t working. Her approach was to try to talk to him and understand what was going on.

Her husband had more of a “tough love” approach with their son that included screaming matches, punishments and time spent in his room by himself.

Neither was being terribly successful and as the frustration rose, so did their blame and resentments towards one another.

Dave would say to Beth, “You’ve spoiled him. That’s why he thinks he can get away with this behavior.”

She would tell Dave, “Your yelling at him is only going to push him further away from us.”

And as they argued and blamed, their son continued to spiral.

When our kids are struggling, we’re not thriving. We’re not thriving as a family, as an individual, and nor are the spouses thriving as a couple. Oftentimes, the increased stress and frustration about parenting negatively impacts our relationship with our spouses.

With every disagreement, Beth would distance herself from Dave. She grew to no longer trust him to protect her or their family. She began checking out of the marriage and placed all the remaining energy she had left on doing what she could for her son. She felt alone and sad.

As Dave got angrier about the troubles they were having parenting their son, he laid much of the blame at Beth’s feet. He stopped being affectionate, saying, “I love you,” and stayed later at work. He felt anger and frustration.The distance and anger that exists now between Beth and Dave was palpable, which only gave their son more reason to act out and to stay away from home as much as possible.

As parents, when our children are struggling, we logically turn our attention to attempting to fix those struggles or find answers. But in doing so we often place our marriages on a shelf and assume that the marriage will sustain itself during this time.

Here’s the problem: There’s not a single thing on this planet that thrives when you turn you back to it. A garden isn’t going to bear much fruit and vegetables if it never gets watered, weeded or if it never sees the sunshine. And it is the same in our marriages.

When we turn our backs to it, never investing time, energy, compassion, forgiveness or love in its direction, it too will die slowly over time.That’s when parents find themselves either holding on until the kids graduate to leave the marriage or spend their empty-nester years merely existing within an empty and lonely marriage. Life is stressful sometimes; none of us get to escape that reality.

Children lose their way…Loved ones get sick…Jobs and careers experience bumps in the road.

But in the midst of that stress, if we turn our backs on our marriages, we cannot expect them to thrive. If the garden of your marriage is overgrown with weeds and you haven’t seen a ripe tomato in years…it’s time to put some loving energy towards each other and the relationship itself.

It might just be the best thing you can do to help your children to thrive, as well as your family.If you’ve been struggling in your marriage and want to put a little sunlight on it before making the painful and terrifying decision to leave the marriage, then I invite you to join me in my new relationship program, The Decision: Should I Stay or Go? This program will help give you the confidence and clarity you need to know whether you can stay and fix the marriage or know how to move forward without regret. You can find out all the details here, but it’s only open for enrollment a few days each year, so don’t wait.

I just felt loved and encouraged to be the best parent I can be (mistakes and all!)." - Katie L. "Casey has extensive knowledge to share and an adept way of guiding you through processing what you've learned so you can use it in practical ways as you parent your teens." - Beth H "Working with Casey as a coach is one of the most powerful things my husband and I have done together with regards to parenting. Her kindness and welcoming presence put my husband right at ease and he quickly let his defensiveness down. This allowed for us both to come together and start developing a common language from which to parent." - Juliet P "Casey- you’re an exceptional coach and facilitator. I think it was Katie Lowry who said that you are meant to do this work and I wholeheartedly agree. Sometimes when you talk I feel like you’ve been inside my head. You’re also a really good listener and very genuine. You’ve really influenced the way I parent, and really the way I see myself as a person. Love you!" - Kaite S.

Self Care, Confidence & Leadership for Teens and Their Parents

MOODY

TEENS?

Navigating Mood Swings

By Tia Fagan, Conscious Coaching, helping families SHIFT from surviving to thriving

Have you ever been having a pleasant conversation with your teen and in the blink of an eye your teenager abruptly declares they are done talking to you?

Or perhaps your teen is in a good mood then you ask for some help only to get an eye roll and rude comment back?

Do you sometimes feel like you are walking on eggshells around them?

You’re not alone! Most mood swings are normal during adolescence. How we support and navigate our teenager’s mood swings can make all the difference in our current and long-term relationship with them.

Get Curious

Have Empathy

It helps to understand that your teen’s brain is developing in substantial ways during adolescence, up until 26 years old. Their ability to read body language and facial expressions is often misconstrued. Processing and understanding their own feelings can be challenging for them. In addition, the hormonal changes play a part in mood swings. Now that we understand there are physiological changes that can influence mood swings, we should get curious about what else may be going on? Ask yourself – is there something that I’m not aware of? Perhaps there is added pressure from school, or they had a fight with a friend? What feelings may they be experiencing internally? Look beneath the mood swings and the behaviors. Get curious about what else may be going on from your teenager’s point of view.

Do you recall a time when you were “moody”? I think we all can and not just from our teenage years, but recently as well. Recall how it felt during those times. Perhaps you were unaware why you were feeling the way you were. What did you need from others? Now imagine your teenager and their mood swings.

What might your teen need from you in those moments? How can you provide understanding, guidance, and support to your teen during these difficult mood swings? Ask yourself how you wish others had responded to you and see if you can provide that to your teen.

Having empathy helps us connect with our teens when they need us most.

Teach Skills Teaching these skills involves us also modeling how to navigate a mood swing or our own big feelings. Helping them learn to navigate mood swings with these three tips and practice these yourself as well.

Pause – A few options to teach your teen to pause: Notice your breath; counting to ten; notice 5 things based on each sense (What do you see? What do you hear?

What do you smell? What do you taste? What do you feel?); notice 5 things of a similar color in the room; or using one hand, touch each finger to your thumb, and repeat as needed.

Go Within – What are you feeling? Notice your thoughts. Help your teen learn to ask these questions and also ask them to yourself as well when your teenager is experiencing a mood swing. Also be sure to notice that sometimes they just need space alone. Honor any privacy they ask for. Let them know you are there for them, but give them time alone, as needed.

Take Care of Body – Encourage your teen to choose healthy food choices and drink plenty of water. Help them by encouraging them to get enough sleep and partake in some form of movement several days a week. Nourishing our body helps us navigate stressful times with more clarity, including mood swings. Make sure you do this for yourself as well!

"The more we are able to flow with our teen’s mood swings and help guide them with empathy, the easier they will be able understand and handle their mood swings over time with less reactivity."

Tia Fagan, Conscious Coaching, helping families SHIFT from surviving to thriving

The more we are able to flow with our teen’s mood swings and help guide them with empathy, the easier they will be able understand and handle their mood swings over time with less reactivity. Supporting our teens during these challenging times helps build the foundation for navigating mood swings and big feelings, keeping the parent-teen relationship at the forefront during the teen years and into the future.
