RAISING HER CONFIDENTLY | Connecting with Teens, Parenting Styles, Family Communication, Raising Teen Daughters

Do you want to have open communication with your teen daughter? Do you find yourself up late at night constantly thinking about how to talk to your teen or why she’s not opening up to you? Do you wake up with confident intentions only to feel confused and frustrated when you get 1-word answers from your daughter or instead of the deep conversations you hoped to have, you end up in a yelling match? Hi, I’m Jeannie. I think back to when I was 13. I was that teenage girl you are googling about! Rebellious, hard to figure out, “hard-headed” as my mom would call me. She even said, “I don’t even know who you are anymore!” Several years later, I too found myself raising young teens. I too felt grieved by the loss of my sweet talkative little girl! I wanted her to come to me about anything even if she was scared and listen to my advice. My passion for healthy families as a former educator, a homeschooling family for several years, and a zeal to impact young teen girls has led me to train in the Coach Model and partner with moms like you and guide them to create safe, healthy relationships with their teens. In this podcast, I share tools and resources to help improve communication with your teen girl and strengthen your relationship with her. I’m providing you ways to talk to your teen through relationship-building exercises to make intentional connections, establish boundaries to create that safe space, and build a trust-worthy community of healthy friends and influence to confidently get you through this season of raising a teen girl. So grab that oat milk latte and let’s raise her confidently together!

Hi Friend,
 
Teens want a place where they can be themselves, talk openly about what they are feeling, and share what's on their mind.  They want a place to feel safe in.   
 
Open communication is made and trust is built in places that are safe for our teens.  In today’s episode I will be sharing a Bible verse I use for instruction to create this safe space for my teenage daughter and 3 tangible and applicable ways you can implement now to create your own space with your daughter.
 
Are you looking for a supportive mom community?
The common thing I ask the moms I work with to be most valuable is having a community with other moms who get it.  Who are in the weeds too.  Moms who are also in the season of raising tween & teen girls.  We need each other to vent, laugh, encourage and support on another. 
If that’s you too, I have a free mom community I invite you to be a part of.  You can join going to www.linktr.ee/jeanniebaldomero

Hi Friend,
 
We all want to connect our teen daughters, but find it hard to figure out how to do it.  Sometimes it’s hard to bridge the gap between you two consistently.  Something might work and then it doesn’t.   Your desire is to show her how much you care about everything in her life.  You want a healthy relationship with her.
 
Today, I’m bringing you back to the basics.  In order to connect, you need to love her.  I mean, I know you love her, but I’m talking where SHE knows and receives your love.  Today we are digging in an oldie but still relevant goodie, the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman and how knowing her love language can actually bring you closer faster.

Hey mama, 
 
Talking to your teens can be very challenging.  Parenting each teen is different, but there is that one that no matter what you try, you just can't seem to get more than a shrug or one word out of them. You want them to open up to you with what is really going on in your teen daughter's life but you aren't quite sure how to reach her.
 
Today I am sharing 3 ways to get more than 1 word out of your daughter which you can start using today!  I am sharing ways you can close that bridge of communication with her, and learn how to ask the right questions that start open conversations.  Isn't that what you want in your relationship with your teenage daughter?

Hey Mama!
 
Trust is so easy to have but once lost, it's so hard to rebuild.  Today I am talking about 5 ways you can build a trust-worthy relationship with your teen daughter.  You want to understand your daughter and she wants you to understand her as well.  Trust is at the center of it all. 
 
Whether you have an amazing relationship with your daughter or one that ebs and flows, we desire one that is built on trust and so does your daughter no matter what she says to you or shows you.  She wants someone who knows has her back and that she truly can be herself. She wants someone who is in her corner and is confident in it.  You do! Now how can we show her that?
 
In this episode, I give you 5 ways I’ve continually and most times consistently implement in building a trusting relationship with my daughter.
 
Are you ready to tune in?

Hey Mama!
Are you guilty of mom guilt too?  It can definitely stop us in our tracks, guide our decisions and our reactions towards our teenage daughters. It's a cycle that doesn't seem to end. 
 
This episode is going to unload some heavy stuff that may be uncomfortable to listen to, but hear me out.  I had to come to the same realization as well for myself in order to shift my perspective on how I parent my teen daughter. 
 
I'm sharing 3 reasons why we have them, how they actually get in the way of a healthy relationship with your daughter and how to release it or at least simmer it down.   You'll leave with direction on how to lay the guilt down so you can raise your girl with what she needs most,  a guilt-free YOU!

HI Mama,
I am answering a question from a fellow mama I work with who asked, "What can I do when my daughter freaks out over everything?".
Freak outs get the best of us!  They happen.  It's emotional. It's offensive.  It's disrespectful, and straight out rude! You can find yourself deep in your daughter's emotional storm, and feel bad about it later.
Your teen girl may know how to push your buttons, but you can equip yourself with the 4 strategies that get you off that crazy cycle.    AND help your daughter get through hers.
The drama doesn't have to get bigger than it is!
