When everyone in your whānau feels seen, heard and understood safety and security are real.

This has to happen first, before any collaborative spirit can lead the way towards healthy, positive relationships.

It’s hard to learn this as a parent if you didn’t see it as a child.

This is the work of parenting as we change the patterns of our relationships.

How do you parent yourself?

How would you like to parent yourself?

Now pause and reflect, are they the same?

Parenting is the hardest, most rewarding role in the world that can be simultaneously the most frustrating!

Parenting tweens, teens and young adults doesn’t have to be packed with regret, second guesses and resentment.

If you lean more towards frustration than fulfillment, take a moment to read up on ‘Adolescents are Awesome’ - the parenting course for you AND them. Link in comment

What has happened in the past has happened.

The event can not be changed.

What can be changed is the way we hold it.

And the way we move forward. .

Are you ready?

Changing the pattern of our parenting means we will be guiding our rangatahi, adolescents, without resorting to the parenting techniques we all found so unempowering when they were done to us - and this is challenging!

Even if we don’t want to be ‘our parents’ in times of stress they somehow just seem to slip out!

If you are ready to be the parent who starts a change in your home, have a look at this online course, ‘Adolescents are Awesome’ and begin the change today. Link in comments.

Our adolescents need us to guide them. Not because we have ‘the answers’ but because we have their best interests at heart.

The best advantage a young person can have in life is a parent who is there for them - to guide, to support, to hold space for their future.

What does that look like in your family?

Our rangatahi are our future.

So how can we equip them to be the people they need to be to successfully grapple with and overcome the challenges the world is facing?

Leaving it up to their teachers is passing the buck.

Leaving it up to them is setting them up to fail.

How can we be a part of their support system?

Does anybody else feel the truth of these words?

And the frustration that can accompany them? Sometimes it's easy, other days it's just hard.

Letting our rangatahi step into their very own true and authentic selves takes courage, love and perseverance.

When we can see their journey as just that - their journey - our lives change.
