✨ Teen Tuesday ✨
Confidence Boost 🌟

Confidence isn’t about being the loudest in the room or having all the answers. It’s about trusting yourself—even in quiet moments. 💭 Sometimes that looks like raising your hand in class, and other times it’s reminding yourself, “I’ve got this.”

Parents & caregivers—remind your teens that confidence comes in many forms. A sticky note on a mirror, a whispered affirmation, or just showing up when it feels hard… it all counts. 🪞💌

👉 Little steps build big confidence. Let’s celebrate them all.

Dramatic much?

09/09/2025

I don’t want to talk about what’s in there.
I don’t want to smell what’s in there.
All I know is—it's alive, and it may ask for a snack.....

Here’s your reminder to check the bottom of their backpack before the first day of school.
Or don’t.
Live dangerously.

First day prep is DONE and done early!
Backpacks? ✔️
Labeled folders? ✔️
Tissues, sanitizer, emotional stability? ✔️✔️✔️
Look at me… acting like I haven’t spent the last 3 summers scrambling the night before.

Is this growth? Or just trauma response? Either way—I’m thriving.

✨ Family Fun Friday: Cozy Movie & Sip Night ✨

After a busy week, sometimes the best family fun is keeping it simple and relaxing. 💛

🛋️ Slip into cozy PJs
🥤 Create a DIY drink station with sparkling water, juices, and fun fruit add-ins
✨ Add candles or fairy lights for a warm glow
🎬 Pick a family-friendly movie (or a couple of short shows)
🌟 End the night with a gratitude circle—each person shares one good thing from their week

It’s low-key, fun, and the perfect way to reset together before the weekend. 🌈

🌟 Teen Tuesday Reminder for Parents 🌟

Not every “win” in your teen’s life looks big—but it all matters.
And how you respond can make a huge difference. 💛

✨ They got out of bed when they didn’t feel like it? ➝ Give them a high five.
✨ They finally turned in that assignment they’ve been putting off? ➝ Celebrate with a dance party.
✨ They texted a friend back even when it took effort? ➝ Tell them you’re proud.

Teens are facing more stress than we often realize. By celebrating the small wins with them, you’re reminding them that:
✔️ effort is worth noticing
✔️ progress is something to be proud of
✔️ they’re not alone

Let them know—you see them. You’re cheering them on. You’re celebrating it all right alongside them. 🙌

🌿 Wise Words Wednesday 🌿

Let’s be real—none of us have it all together all the time. We forget things, we misplace stuff, we drop the ball. (Hi, where are my keys? 🙃)

But here’s the thing: those little slip-ups aren’t failures. They’re actually great teaching moments for our kids. When they see us handle forgetfulness with grace, problem-solving, and a little humor, they learn resilience and self-compassion too.

💬 Some everyday phrases to sprinkle in:
✨ “I keep a planner on my desk—it helps me remember what’s on my plate.”
✨ “The keys live by the door. If I move them, I’ll never find them again!”
✨ “I forgot. That happens. Now I’ll figure out a way not to do it next time.”
✨ “I missed sending that email, so I set a phone reminder. Problem solved.”
✨ “Shared family calendar = life saver. It keeps me on track.”

👉 Wise words worth passing on: Forgetting happens. What matters most is how we bounce back.

💡 Teen Tuesday: Confidence in the “Forgot It” Moments

Your teen forgot their water bottle…again. 🥤
Do you rush it over, or let them figure it out?

Here’s the truth: these little slip-ups are actually confidence boosters in disguise. When teens face small natural consequences, they learn how to adapt, problem-solve, and take responsibility.

✨ Tools for Parents:

Pause Before Rescuing – Ask yourself: “Is this a safety issue or just an inconvenience?” If it’s just inconvenient, let them handle it.

Problem-Solving Check-In – Later, instead of scolding, ask:
👉 “What did you do when you realized you forgot it?”
👉 “What could help you remember next time?”

Build a Routine Together – Create a “launch pad” near the door for water bottles, sports gear, or keys. Encourage your teen to pack it themselves the night before.

Celebrate the Lesson – If they remember the next day, point it out:
👉 “Hey, I noticed you grabbed your water before heading out. Nice work!”

These small independence-building moments prepare them for the bigger ones—like remembering their wallet, their deadlines, or eventually…their rent check. 😉
