Mind

There is so much uncertainty wrapped up in adolescence and that can cause teens to question their worthiness and capacity to navigate everyday life. Though parents may not be able to control a child’s confidence, we can establish healthy family patterns and powerful communication practices that encourage teens to love themselves as they navigate life’s ups and downs.

Much like harnessing exercise to train our bodies, there are strategies we can employ to train our minds to think more positively. One powerful training strategy is positive affirmations. When combined with goal-setting and engaging in mindfulness work, affirmations can be highly effective in helping us to achieve positive change in our lives.
