Clarity - Why Neuro Coaching is a Powerful Gift Your Teenager Needs (part 1)
Dec 13, 2024Teenagers are going through a lot. They are shifting from being a child with little to no impacting responsibility towards becoming an adult with a lot of impacting responsibilities. I use the word impacting because an 8 year old who forgets to feed the dog effects their life and those around them differently than a 16 year old who chooses to speed while driving or not show up to work. As a teenager grows their choices start having more and more impact on their life and the lives of those around them. (This is why it is so important that we not bail our children out of every struggle. A child must value the impact of their choices.)
When you give your teenager the gift of clarity through Neuro Coaching it helps them find responsibility from within instead of in response to avoiding a punishment or on a quest to make you (the parent/guardian) happy.
A teenager who is responsible because of an inner desire to work towards meaningful goals will be more prone to make responsible choices regardless of who is or isn't watching.
Knowing are kids are set up for success is not about how good they can confirm to our rules and appear to be a "good" kid. The most significant factor in determining if a child will be successful in life is what is going on inside their heart and head.
Helping your teenager sort through the clutter and move forward with clarity about the type of person they want to become and the things they want to work towards is a powerful step towards being motivated from within to do the right thing. The second powerful step in this is helping your teenager have clarity about WHY they want to become that kind of person and WHY they want to work towards those goals. Neuro Coaching is unique and priceless way for a teenager to develop clarity in these areas.
