Life is certainly a rollercoaster ride for most teens, with twists, turns, and unexpected loops. The truth is every choice they make and action they take brings them to a place of personal growth and learning.
It is important to teach them to make the most of every moment.
Laugh at the confusion or adversity – it’s okay not to have all the answers. This confusion and adversity helps us build resilience and grit which ultimately leads to a strong sense of self.
Smile through the tears – they make you stronger. It’s alright to cry during strong emotional moments but it is important to look for the lesson and silver lining in these situations. It may not seem like there is one, but it is there if they look hard enough.
EVERYTHING happens for a reason! We just don’t always see that until after the fact.
Teach them to trust themselves and trust the process and they will grow personally and develop the skills they need to face whatever life throws at them.
