Measure Up Parent Cue

 MORNING TIME

Part of avoiding the comparison trap is celebrating the abilities and things that others have. One day this week, choose with your student someone that each of you will make a point of celebrating by paying that person a compliment, writing them a thank you note, or posting about their awesomeness on social media.

 DRIVE TIME

Sometimes the feeling of not measuring up can be so isolating. This week, take a few moments to tell your student about someone who you didn’t feel like you measured up to when you were in middle school—maybe it was a sibling, a classmate, or even a friend. Share a way that, looking back on it, you can see unique strengths and abilities in each of you.

 MEAL TIME

Comparison doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. At one meal this week, ask these Would You Rather questions (or make up some of your own!): Would you rather . . . Live in a place that’s always hot or always cold? Be able to run really fast or jump very high? Wear clown shoes or a clown wig every day for the rest of your life? Be able to play any musical instrument or be fluent in all languages?

 BED TIME

Your student has unique gifts, talents, and abilities, and they need you to tell them about the ways you see them excelling. One evening this week, tell your student something about them you’re proud of. Try to attach your statement to something that’s true of them every day, like “I’m proud of you for being kind,” or “I’m proud of how you make a point of speaking up for others.”

Adolescence: A Season of Pressure

Doug Fields –Author of Intentional Parenting

On the outside, most young people seem happy-go-lucky, but inside each adolescent is a complex network of potentially explosive pressures. Adolescents with a strong parental and social support system are the least likely to experience the painful effects of the pressures they face. When parents become aware of the typical sources of pressure that kids face, they are better able to provide their kids encouragement and support. Here are five common pressures adolescents face:

1. The Pressure to be Perfect.
Teens repeatedly talk about their parents wanting them to be perfect, particularly in in the areas of behavior and school. No kid is perfect and when they fall short of their parents’ expectations, they feel more pressure.

2. The Pressure to Succeed.
