Somehow my baby is just two months away from officially becoming an adult! I look at her and I wonder where the time went. It feels like I just dropped her off at daycare. And now she’s about to find out that being a teenager is hard, but being an adult is even harder. So I’ve been making a list of things I want her to remember as she enters adulthood.
In this episode we discuss…
- Understanding how to trust your gut
- Why it’s important to trust the process, even when you don’t see immediate results
- Allowing yourself to be vulnerable while maintaining boundaries
- Why you should accept a mint when someone offers
- How to keep your home secure
- The reasoning behind sleeping with your door closed and locked
- Acknowledging wins, big or small
- Finding the lessons in every experience, good and bad
- Making your physical and mental health a priority
- Knowing when you need to push through and when to take a break
- The effect not wearing sunblock has on your skin
- Being a person of your word
- Pushing through feelings of fear
- Why self-care is essential to your well-being
- Understanding how to manage your finances
- Taking accountability for your actions
- Why you should ask for help when you need it
- Socializing to maintain connection with others
- Why being comfortable is not always a good thing
- The benefits of trying new things
Accepting that your teen is an adult who can make their own decisions can be quite an adjustment for you and for them. And while you never really sleep soundly after they leave the house, knowing that you have taught them valuable life skills should help you sleep a little more sound.
