Big But?
Parenting Successful Teens - A podcast by Allie Irwin
Categories:
This week we’re talking about a simple change to make when you find yourself saying something with a “big but” in the middle like “My son is smart, but he doesn’t study” “I want to stay out of it, but she’s making a mistake.” “I know it’s good for him, but it’s so hard to watch her struggle.” I’ll walk you through a simple process that gives you a more clear eyed picture of the situation, and either more peace with it or power to change it. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: What the 2 halves of a “big but” statement mean. What it means to feel your feelings and how to do it. Why it’s important to feel your feelings first, before you take any action to change the situation. Simple word swap that makes those statements more powerful.
