Having a Leadership Mindset
The world needs all kinds of leaders and there are different ways that we can teach our kids how to have leadership skills:
Promote teamwork. Try engaging in family activities together or completing tasks together such as cleaning.
Be a role model of a leader and use language that promotes leadership.
Give your child choices. Try letting them choose between a certain vegetable for dinner or what task they would like to complete at home.
Teach communication skills and work out challenges together.
Encourage a growth mindset. Help them to see that mistakes are not failures, they are all a part of the learning process.
Check out Big Life Journal’s printable on leadership and different ways you can start important discussions around helping your child become a leader.
Parent Cafe
Join us virtually for another GSACRD Voice Parent Cafe on Thursday, May 25th, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM, online via Zoom, to learn more about anxiety and your teen. This session seeks to provide you with a better understanding of the teenage brain, anxiety as an emotion, and strategies to support your teen in managing their symptoms.
