We talk so much about the magic formula with kids of empathy and questions.

Honey, I understand that you feel afraid and you are so capable of doing hard things.

Or I believe in you so much.

You are so smart and I can't wait to watch how you figure this out.

That we're acknowledging how they feel because again, that's where parents I think so often right now are stuck.

Nobody understood how I felt.

So we're acknowledging how they feel and then we're creating an opportunity for resourcefulness rather than being the resources for them.

Yes.

Rather than sit on your screen.

And as parents are as thoughtful and intentional, and I think trying to do something different.

I met with a mom and daughter last fall and homecoming was coming up, all the stress.

This girl had been kind of on the outs with a group of friends and had felt really left out a lot.

And she finally left.

The, you know, popular group was paying more attention to her and she was so thrilled.

And she decided she wanted to be the house where everyone came over to get ready and then take pictures.

And there were a couple of girls who were on the outs.

And she said to me in counseling, my mom wants me to invite them and I don't want to do it.

That's so awkward.

That's their favorite word.

That's so awkward.
