Finish this sentence, parents: 👉 “This week, I’m proud of myself because I ________.” Maybe it was… - staying calm when you wanted to snap - apologizing after losing it - holding a boundary Big growth comes from small moments. Drop yours below 👇💛

Let’s reflect for a second: What’s one small win you had this week as a parent? It could be: - staying calm when you normally would’ve snapped - setting a boundary (and sticking to it) - apologizing after a rough moment - choosing connection over control Big or small—wins matter, especially in the teen years. Drop yours below 👇(And if you’re struggling, share that too. You’re not alone.)

Fill in the blank: “Today I’m giving myself permission to ______.” Examples: • take a break • say no • ask for help • stop trying to do it all Most of us are running on autopilot and pushing through without even realizing it. Taking 10 seconds to name what you need helps your nervous system reset, and gives you permission to show up as a calmer, more present parent. 💛 Drop your pick below 👇

Pause the urge to take it personally. When your teen is moody, distant, or snaps at you, it usually isn’t about you. It’s about overwhelm, stress, or emotions they don’t know how to express yet. Instead of reacting, try saying: “I’m here when you’re ready to talk.” Safety builds connection. Connection builds communication. 🫶

This week, notice how you respond. Not just what your teen does. What’s one reaction you’re trying to pause, soften, or change this week? Name it below. Awareness is where change starts. 👇
