🌱 Key Takeaways

• Mindset Reminder: Find the "Dot." The first step in achieving a life vision is helping teens identify how they feel and locate their "dot on the kiosk in the mall that says you are here," confirming they are not a carbon copy version of anyone else.
  
  

• Boundaries: Implement Safe Space Agreements to establish rituals that allow everyone in the family to feel seen, heard, and honored. This is key to opening communication when kids are silent.
  
  

• How To Talk With Your Kids: Parents must have the courage to ask their child every six months, “How do you rate our relationship on a scale from 1 to 10?”
  
  

• Healthy Habits: The parent must hold their emotion in (no crying or anger) when receiving the rating, as showing emotion makes the process unsafe for the child. They must then focus solely on the critical question: “What would take it from a [the given rating] to a 10?”.
  
  

• What Parents Can Do: Moving forward requires action, not just thinking or listening. Prioritize small palatable moves or bite-sized moves that can be done consistently
  
  

• Parent Self-Care: For struggling mothers dealing with low self-confidence or identity issues, focus on programs that teach filling up your cup first and then serving from your overflow.
