The Line Between Control and Responsibility
Owning Your Part Without Owning Their Path
💬 "There’s a difference between being responsible for your child and being responsible to them."
Self-responsibility in parenting isn’t about micromanaging your teen’s journey. It’s about managing your own reactions, boundaries, and beliefs.
You can’t make your teen calm. But you can model calm when things escalate.
You can’t force your teen to be honest. But you can hold a boundary and build a home where honesty feels safe.
💬 Reflection Prompt: Where might you be carrying responsibility that isn’t yours?
🧭 Try this reframe:
“My job isn’t to control the outcome. My job is to hold steady ground and guide with clarity.”
💭 What’s one thing you can let go of today that doesn’t belong to you?
