40: Monkey See, Monkey...Choose | Parenting Your Teen Without Taking On Their Emotions

from Think New Thoughts · host Emily Ricks

  Does your teen's frustration, anxiety, or anger quickly become your frustration, anxiety, or anger? It's easy to absorb the emotional energy of the people we love without even realizing we're doing it. In this episode, you'll learn a simple mindset shift that can help you stop taking on your teen's emotions and start choosing your own response instead. If you've ever felt emotionally drained by your teenager's ups and downs, this episode will help you find more peace, steadiness, and connection.   If someone you love who is struggling with addiction, or crippling anxiety, or ongoing depression, I believe (passionately!) that one of the most powerful, life changing things you can do to help them is to explore and understand your OWN thoughts and feelings first. Schedule a free mini session with me and I'll show you how.  --------------------------------------------------- Helping LDS moms of teens navigate parenting with more connection, trust, joy, and inner peace through gospel-centered life coaching, thought work, and practical tools from a parenting coach that align with LDS doctrine and scripture. Explore conflict resolution, forgiveness, mindset shifts, faith over fear, personal growth, emotional resilience, overcoming mom guilt, reducing disconnection and power struggles, learning to trust God, and strengthening family relationships through faith-based parenting and life coaching.
