I'm back with Part 2 of the Unhelpful Parenting Thoughts series!

This week we are looking at the thought "They should know better". Sounds like an OK reasonable thought but again we will be looking below the surface of this to see how it's working against you and your relationship with just about anybody you think this about.

I will go through why it makes sense we think this, when we think this most often and some ways to come up with a slightly more helpful thought.

There are so many thoughts we have as parents that were handed to us and sound like the truth.  What if these thoughts are not helping us out as parents at all?  

Over the next few episodes I'm going to explore some of these unhelpful thoughts, how they could be hurting you and your teenager.  I will also offer you some other thought options to help you with all relationships.

We've all heard about creating action plans, but what about creating a plan for how to think?  I get it, I always want to know what to do in any situation.  What I have found though is that it is more important for me to know what I am thinking about any situation that comes up.  This can then lead to better outcomes because I'm taking action from a more managed emotional state.

Here's the plan I talk about in this episode

1. What is the situation that triggers you?

2. How do you want to feel about this situation?

3. What could you think about this that could lead you to feel this way?

4. What actions would you be able to take if you were thinking and feel this way?  How might these actions be better than those you have taken in the past.  

5.  How might this thought and feeling help you show up the way you want to as a parent?
