Have you ever felt like you're navigating a minefield when it comes to parenting teens in our tech-saturated world? In this episode we talk about guiding teens and tweens through their online lives and the importance of good connection  to unlock the secrets of your child's digital experience.  We talk about setting concrete boundaries without shutting down communication channels. I share actionable strategies (or reminders, as you may already be doing many of these) to help you and your teen build a relationship that thrives on trust and mutual respect in the age of the internet.The journey of parenting doesn't need to be a solitary one.  Remember, at the heart of every parent's mission is guiding our teens toward happiness. HAPPENINGS:1) Free Webinar --- How parents of teens and tweens can better connect without all the arguments, attitude, disrespect or guilt)2) The Confidently Connected [Teen/Tween] System is a super easy 3-step system for teens, tweens, and parents.It's designed to give today's youth tools to help them discover who they are so they don't spend years suffering from low self-esteem, a lack of confidence or motivation, unhealthy relationships (with themselves and others), and generally6 feeling lost, stuck, unhappy, or out of control.The Confidently Connected [Parent] System gives parents of teens and tweens tools to support and better understand what their kids might be going through, as well as help them strengthen or create strong, healthy relationships (with their kids, themselves, and others).Because the system is hybrid, that means the teen/tween can work at their own pace and in their own time, as the content is fully digital.Additionally, there are weekly call opportunities to connect for both the teens/tweens, and, separately, for the parents.This might just be the easiest system you will come across to get teens and tweens the information they need (which is generally NOT taught in schools) to improve their self-worth, their confidence, and their overall mindset so they can become happy, successful young adults, which all parents want for their kids.

Bullying is not only physical and verbal.  What if we told you that friendship bullying is a real and often ignored issue that's impacting our teens' emotional well-being? Today, we're shedding light on this delicate topic that often leads to feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, and anxiety in teenagers. Navigating the complex world of teenage friendships, while not easy,  it's important to learn about the different forms of bullying and understanding how to identify if your teen is a victim.Share this knowledge with your friends and check out reneesending.com for more parenting gems.

Ever wondered why your teenager is acting out, or why they seem to be drifting further from their authentic selves in a bid to fit in? Do you sometimes wish you could help them navigate these critical years without losing their individuality? I understand this struggle first-hand, and it's a real worry for a lot of parents.When teens or tweens are not true to themselves, they will often feel lost or confused. This often shows up as a bad attitude, anger, and disconnection, and it makes it really hard for parents to help them. In this episode, I'll also reveal a new system I've designed specifically for parents and teenagers called 'Confidently Connected'. This super easy 3-step system helps teens and tweens discover who they are and understand what's truly important to them, so they can become confident, happy, and self-assured young adults; while supporting parents along the way.TEA HAPPENINGS:1) Free Webinar --- How parents of teens and tweens can better connect without all the arguments, attitude, disrespect or guilt)2) The Confidently Connected [Teen/Tween] System is a super easy 3-step system for teens, tweens, and parents.It's designed to give today's youth tools to help them discover who they are so they don't spend years suffering from low self-esteem, a lack of confidence or motivation, unhealthy relationships (with themselves and others), and generally6 feeling lost, stuck, unhappy, or out of control.The Confidently Connected [Parent] System gives parents of teens and tweens tools to support and better understand what their kids might be going through, as well as help them strengthen or create strong, healthy relationships (with their kids, themselves, and others).Because the system is hybrid, that means the teen/tween can work at their own pace and in their own time, as the content is fully digital.Additionally, there are weekly call opportunities to connect for both the teens/tweens, and, separately, for the parents.This might just be the easiest system you will come across to get teens and tweens the information they need (which is generally NOT taught in schools) to improve their self-worth, their confidence, and their overall mindset so they can become happy, successful young adults, which all parents want for their kids.

Ever imagined exploring the complexities of parenting teenagers through the exhilarating lens of surfing? That's exactly what this episode offers. We draw striking parallels between the thrill of surfing and the roller-coaster ride of raising teens. From catching an amazing wave to missing one, or even crashing and burning on a big wave - we use these scenarios to expose the life lessons hidden in missed chances and the power of resilience. Our journey doesn't end there. We transition into examining how just as big wave surfers depend on their ski drivers, we need a supportive crew in our lives. This segment emphasizes the necessity of self-belief and self-worth in teens, especially when selecting friends, ensuring they aren't exploited. Parenting is as challenging as tackling a monster wave, but remember, it's okay to take a breather, figure things out and learn to ride the waves of life. So buckle up for this enlightening, empowering, and undeniably relatable discourse on the parallels between surfing and parenting.___________If you are looking for extra support, please don't hesitate to reach out.Teen Esteem Academy News and UpdatesIMPORTANT FACEBOOK UPDATE:  You won't find as much of my content on FB as previously, as my entire facebook profile was hacked and I've lost everything on there - tons of content, access to run my Empowered Parent FB Community, etc.  I have created a new profile, but it's new and we are back to square one.

It's not necessarily easy to achieve this, but it is possible, and something every single person - parent, teen, tween, non-parent, etc.  deserve.  For some, it will be a journey to get there.  But, I honestly can't think of a single journey more worthwhile than doing whatever you can - for yourself or your kids - than to unlock this KEY TO CONFIDENCE.___________If you are looking for extra support, please don't hesitate to reach out.

On this episode of the Empowered Parent Podcast I talk about the impact of Negative LABELING.  I've talked about this topic in a previous podcast using the soup can analogy.  Whether we are labeling ourselves or labeling others, words matter.  Words impact. Thoughts dictate. Verbal or non-verbal (something we might be thinking), the power of labels that we place on others, or labels that are placed on us, can change the trajectory of a persons day, week, or even their life.  ___________If you are looking for extra support, please don't hesitate to reach out. Teen Esteem Academy News and UpdatesTHE EMPOWERED PARENT FB COMMUNITYIf you aren't already part of The Empowered (Teen) Parent FB Community, we'd love to have you join us!  Click HERE to check us out.

On this episode of the Empowered Parent Podcast I talk about Letting Go of a Fear-Based Mindset.   So many kids make decisions and choices out of fear - often at the expense of their own self-worth and confidence.  But the truth is, many parents also parent out of fear.   Maybe this is because of your own past.  Or simply because it's a scary world out there.  The question becomes what is the cost (to us or our kiddos) when it's fear that dictates our choices and decisions? ___________If you are looking for extra support, please don't hesitate to reach out. Teen Esteem Academy News and UpdatesTHE EMPOWERED PARENT FB COMMUNITYIf you aren't already part of The Empowered (Teen) Parent FB Community, we'd love to have you join us!  Click HERE to check us out.

Hi Parents!It's been awhile since I've done a podcast like this, but it's a question I ask teens often.  Teens and tweens yearn to feel seen, heard, and valued. They yearn to feel validated in their thoughts and feelings.  And, when they don't feel this way, they shut down, internalize, and/or simply don't share what's really going on with the most important people in their lives - YOU.So this podcast is simply me sharing with you what 6 teens and tweens shared with me at this weeks Teen Esteem Academy Bootcamp class that I taught.  It's good food-for-thought.  Some of these may resonate with you, or even strike a chord and that's okay!  Give yourself grace.  Then, you get to decide best next steps to show up in a way that doesn't create a connection or communication gap.Raising teens and tweens is not easy,  so as long as you are doing your best on any given day, you can go to bed feeling proud with yourself.  _______________Are you looking for extra support don't hesitate to reach out. Teen Esteem Academy News and UpdatesTHE EMPOWERED PARENT FB COMMUNITYIf you aren't already part of The Empowered (Teen) Parent FB Community, we'd love to have you join us!  Click HERE to check us out.

Teens and Tweens yearn to fit in and be accepted.  It's human nature, right? The problem is that there's a difference between fitting in and actually belonging.  And, it's within that difference that big impacts on self-esteem, worthiness and confidence show up.  Most teens don't have the tools to see the difference, and many will do almost anything just to be accepted.   So the question is: Does your child wear a daily mask in hopes of fitting in and being accepted?  Or, do they truly belong, and are able to be their awesome selves each and every day?__________  Teen Esteem Academy News and UpdatesTHE EMPOWERED PARENT FB COMMUNITYIf you aren't already part of The Empowered (Teen) Parent FB Community, we'd love to have you join us!  Click HERE to check us out.

In this episode we talk about not only the teen brain, but also, the 3 stages of adolescent development.  Knowledge is power, and raising teens and tweens isn't easy.  We always want to preserve that parent-child relationship so we are their soft place to fall.  This is why, the more information we have about what might be going on with our kiddo, the better chance we have at showing up in a way that builds connection and support, and/or, figuring out what's really going on.No matter what's going on with your kids, I promise you aren't alone.  Nor do you have to go at it alone if you are feeling you might want or need some extra support.  Check out below to see what's going on a Teen Esteem Academy, and feel free to reach out anytime.____________Teen Esteem Academy News and UpdatesGROUP COACHINGGroup coaching  is a powerful modality of support for both teens and parents.

In today's episode of The Empowered Parent Podcast With Renee  we talk about the importance of normalizing uncomfortable emotions. As a parent of a Teen or Tween you are likely already aware that teen emotions can be BIG, sometimes seemingly UNWARRANTED, and UNCOMFORTABLE (for both them and us).  Though we can see the big picture, and, understand that whatever they are going through now isn't a forever thing - for them, it might not feel that way.  Without tools to process their big emotions in a productive manner, many teens will act out, shut down, retreat, resort to unsafe activities, or find themselves in an unhealthy mental state (that you may or may not be aware of).This episode shares tools to help you help your teen process, accept, and navigate uncomfortable emotions, so they feel more empowered  and in control.____________Teen Esteem Academy News and UpdatesGROUP COACHINGGroup coaching  is a powerful modality of support for both teens and parents.

Teens and Tweens spend 8+ hours a day at school (sometimes a lot more if they are involved in extracurricular activities). Unless there is one of those horrific events on the news, we don't often think about whether our kiddos truly feel safe at their school.  During this episode we talk about different types of feeling safe, why it matters, and the impact of when our kids are not feeling safe, as this is a basic human need.If your teen is struggling in any matter, consider reaching out to us here at Teen Esteem Academy.

Do you ever feel like you are drowning?  Like things are just spiraling, and you feel out of control or just out of sorts?  Well, something happened to our family personally over the past few weeks, and this is exactly how I felt.  It just kind of reminded me that parents of teens feel this way sometimes also, so, I thought I'd share my story and offer you a little bit of remembering that you are not alone.  And, it's okay to prioritize yourself. If you are considering extra support, or to learn more about S3 (our teen and parent 12-week group coaching journey), message me at https://m.me/reneesinningIf you aren't already part of The Empowered (Teen) Parent FB Community, I'd love to have you join.  Click HERE to check it out.

This month, in honor of Teen Self-Esteem Month, I'll be running a series of podcasts aimed at things you can do in the home to boost your teenager's self-esteem.   This episode is for both parents AND teenagers. I share with you 4 Key Questions To Get Unstuck.  Everyone gets stuck from time to time (whether we are talking academics, socially, relationships, or even just what to do next,  or, how to handle a situation.  And sometimes, when we do feel stuck, it's enough to take a nip out of our self-esteem or self-belief.  By pinpointing those one or two areas that might have us stuck, the challenge can go from seemingly insurmountable to actually do-able.  Generally, you will find that start point by asking (and ranking) yourself these 4 questions.If you aren't already part of The Empowered (Teen) Parent FB Community, I'd love to have you join.  Click HERE to check it out.Or...To learn more about myself and my work with teens, here's the link to the Teen Esteem Academy website.   You can send me a message from there if you'd love to connect. 

This month, in honor of Teen Self-Esteem Month, I'll be running a series of podcasts aimed at things you can do in the home to boost your teenager's self-esteem.   Today we talk about Letting Go Of Expectations, which can be hard for parents, because there will be certain things you'd like to expect of your teen.  The truth is, however, that when we expect others (teens, partners, spouse, friends, etc.) to do, say or act a certain way...it's often ourselves that ends up disappointed.   By letting go of how you expect them to show up, and recognizing that is out of your control, it can help to avoid triggers on your part; which, in turn can lessen the possibility of getting saying or doing something that might inadvertently impact their self-esteem.If you aren't already part of The Empowered (Teen) Parent FB Community, I'd love to have you join.  Click HERE to check it out.Or...To learn more about myself and my work with teens, here's the link to the Teen Esteem Academy website.   You can send me a message from there if you'd love to connect.

In this episode we talk about dealing with triggers and having our buttons pushed when raising teens.  I'm pretty sure we've all been there.  So the question is, when we are triggered, is it really about the eye roll, grunt, attitude, etc?  Or...could some of our triggers actually be about us?

In this episode we talk about the word WHY.   Why? Because, words have energy, and, sometimes a seemingly innocuous word can actually send the wrong message. And,  because we know that many teenagers can be quite sensitive, it's important to take a look at how our words (and body language) might be perceived from our sweet, hormonal teens who we love so very much.

Connecting with teens, talking, getting them to share and open up is not easy.  Some teens are chatter boxes and share away, but it's not necessarily the norm.  Most teens find it hard to talk and share...and much of that is due to them feeling unheard and not listened to.  In this episode I share 3 words to get (or keep) that conversation going so you can learn more about what's going on in your teen's life.As always, if you are not already a part of my fb community, I'd love to have you join.  It's called The Empowered (Teen) Parent Community, and there are lots of goodies parked in there.
