Happy New Year! In the first episode of 2024, Sarah Pollak and Quinn Faison dive deep into the topic of trust, the cornerstone of strong parent-teen relationships. After a refreshing break over the holidays, they return to explore the dynamics of trust between parents and their teens. Trust is a two-way street, and the hosts discuss how it involves not only trusting our teens to make mistakes and learn but also trusting ourselves as parents. They emphasize that as parents, we set the tone for trust through our presence, engagement, and reliability. Join Sarah and Quinn as they unravel the layers of trust and share insights on building a foundation of trust that fosters open and healthy communication between parents and their teenagers.
This Week’s Practice: Daily Self-Reflection
This week, Sarah and Quinn encourage parents to engage in daily self-reflection as a powerful tool for cultivating trustworthiness. The practice involves taking a moment each day to assess our actions and behaviors. Did we uphold our commitments? Were we honest with ourselves and others? Did we handle various situations with integrity? By consistently checking in with ourselves and holding ourselves accountable, we can actively work on building trust not only with our teens but also with ourselves. This practice serves as a valuable step toward becoming the trustworthy parents we aspire to be, setting a positive example for our teens in the process.
