Transcription

[00:00:00] Casey O'Roarty: Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Joyful Courage Podcast. This is a place where parents of tweens and teens come to find inspiration, information, and encouragement. In the messy terrain of adolescents, this season of parenting is no joke. And while the details of what we're all moving through might be slightly different, we are indeed having a very collective experience.
[00:00:30] This is a space where we center building, relationship, nurturing life skills, and leaning into our own personal growth and man. The opportunities abound, right. My name is Casey Ody. I am a parent coach, positive discipline lead trainer, and captain of the adolescent ship over at Sprout Bowl. I'm also a speaker and a published author.
[00:00:53] I've been working with parents and families for over 20 years. And continue to navigate my own experience of being a mom with my two young adult kids. I'm so honored that you're here and listening. Please give back to the podcast by sharing it with friends or on social media rate and review us on Apple or Spotify.
[00:01:13] Word of mouth is how we grow. Thank you so, so much. Enjoy the show.
[00:01:25] Hi. Hi. Welcome. Welcome back to the podcast. I am recording this having traveled all day yesterday, spending the most epic weekend in Colorado, veil in Grand Junction, seeing my favorite band. I wanna give a big shout out to a couple of. Podcast fans that are now friends who burned up the dance floor with me.
[00:01:54] The first one is my friend Megan, who I met earlier in the year at a different show, same band, different venue, and told her about the podcast and she listened and emailed me and Megan. It was so fun to hang out with you and dance with you. This weekend and Megan's friend Jeremy, who I also turned onto the podcast and he listened to my most recent solo show last weekend.
[00:02:21] Shout out to you, Jeremy, and both of you enjoy those teen years and I'll see you next time on the dance floor. Yes, yes. I think it's so important for us to have a life, to have things that we love to do. Separate maybe from our families or maybe with our families. I definitely was living my best life this weekend.
[00:02:44] Also, shout out to my soul sister Edra, who's also a super fan of this work. We are such a great duo and everybody else who was just so fun to play with all weekend. I love you guys. I love you guys. A lot of you do not have children, so you do not listen to this podcast, but. Yeah, there you go. There you go.
[00:03:05] So this show is actually going live on my 26th wedding anniversary. Can you believe that? August 14th, 2025 is my 26th wedding anniversary. Married to Ben for all these years, and tonight we are connecting with our kiddos and we are actually renewing our vows. It's not like a super official situation with an officiant and everything.
[00:03:32] It's just the two of us with our kids witnessing. But you know, we're in midlife, we're in a new place. We have a much better understanding of what it means to be in partnership and be married to each other. So we thought, you know what? This is the right time as we rediscover our love for each other, this is the right time to.
[00:03:56] Whip up some new vows that are reflective of this time and the rest of our time ahead. So happy anniversary to me and Ben. Um, I'm really glad that you're here today. We're gonna talk about something that I think is really relevant for right now and can feel kind of tricky and slippery or maybe even stressful to you.
[00:04:20] Which is a lot of parents of tweens and teens have a tough time talking about the upcoming school year, and I'm hearing it in my membership program. I'm hearing it with one-on-one clients. I'm hearing that stress that can show up at the start of a school year and whether your kiddo is starting middle school or heading into high school.
[00:04:47] Or somewhere in between this time of year, this August, weeks before the school year can stir up a lot for them and for you, maybe you're excited about a fresh start. Maybe you are carrying what was really hard about last year into this new school year. Maybe you're worried about grades or your kiddo's motivation or social things.
[00:05:12] And maybe you just notice that there's a big energy shift when you invite your teenagers or your tween ages to have a conversation with you about school and the upcoming school year. So if that is true, just know you are not alone. You're not alone. You might have a kiddo who isn't talking a lot about the upcoming school year or avoiding those conversations, but I promise you.
[00:05:41] They are thinking about what's ahead. They're thinking about what's ahead. My goal today in this show is to give you a way to approach these conversations that's grounded in positive discipline. That's informed by what we know about teen brain development. And most importantly, it keeps your relationship with your teen strong.
[00:06:02] It also does a lot of handing over, right? Because school and their school journey is theirs, right? It's really theirs to create and sometimes we get really into the manager role when really we should be in that mentorship role, right? So. We're gonna talk about what to do before you have these conversations, during these conversations and after.
[00:06:28] And I am gonna share some really specific tools that you can try right away. So heads up to that. This podcast actually also exists as a resource on my website. It's the back to school checklist. I will put a link in the show notes about how you can get your hands on this checklist so you have a physical form.
[00:06:52] So I'm just really trying to resource you as best as I can with this information because. When I Googled, when does the school year start for kids in the United States, guess what the answer was anywhere from late July to early September. So we are in the season of back to School. We are absolutely in the season of Back to School and heads up.
[00:07:17] We at Sprout Bowl have decided what we've been doing is only opening our membership programs in July and January. But starting now, if you feel like you know what I want in on that, you can start at the beginning of any month. That's right. You heard it here first. So as you hear me talk and mention the membership, if you're curious about that, please check out the website, be spr.com/ljc, or you can book an explore call with me, which is be spr audible.com.
[00:07:49] Explore to talk about. Membership or coaching or whatever you need as far as your support through parenting in the teen years.
[00:08:03] Okay, so the first place we're gonna start with this work around back to school. Step one, before you say a single word about school, you need to center yourself, right? You need to center yourself depending on you and your child. These convos might be really easy. They may be really straightforward, or they may feel like walking into a storm.
[00:08:31] Okay? If we jump in with anxiety, if we jump in with frustration or a big agenda, or. You know, anticipating pushback, our nervous systems state will leak into the interaction. How we feel inside of our bodies will influence the experience of having this conversation with our kiddo. Right? Here's the thing, your teen's brain is wired.
[00:09:01] To read your tone, your energy, your facial expressions. So it's really important that we take care of ourselves before we launch into these conversations. The adolescent brain is still building the prefrontal cortex, right? And remember, that's the part in charge of decision making, impulse control, perspective, taking the amygdala, the emotional center, the midbrain is firing on all cylinders.
[00:09:30] They really pick up on our emotional cues quickly, right? If you walk in tense, they're gonna meet your tension. If you walk in calm, you're gonna increase the likelihood that the entire interaction will feel and be experienced as more of a calm. Connected centered experience, right? And remembering positive discipline teaches us that in order to create connection or redirection, we really wanna start with connection.
[00:10:05] And for me, it's both connected to myself and then connecting with my kiddo, right? So starting with connecting you with you taking 30 seconds or more, however much time you need. To breathe right. Some of us, that's how we calm our nervous system, is through breath. Inhaling for four, holding for four, exhaling for four, holding for four.
[00:10:32] Doing that box breathing can be really useful before tough conversations. And I want you to remind yourself, use a little mantra, maybe you can say. I am here to connect, not control. I'm here to build influence, not resentment, right? Whatever works for you, take that time to breathe. Another thing that I've been doing lately with clients as well, 'cause.
[00:10:55] You know, I've come to find out that not everybody calms down with breath. So physical touch is another way that we can calm our nervous system. And one of the ways we can do that is taking our hands and brushing. Brushing our arms, brushing our chest, our torso, our legs. Imagine that you're brushing the energy off your body to come to a more neutral place, right?
[00:11:23] Whatever works for you to calm down and to center and ground yourself, do it. Feel those feet on the floor, right? Feel yourself in the right here, right now. Present moment. Okay? And then the next thing that we get to do is to reflect. Right. We get to reflect on our experiences that we've had in the past with our kiddos as we've talked about school, right?
[00:11:52] And what do I mean by reflect? It's really thinking about how have you previously shown up. Two conversations around school. What role have you taken? What has the tone been like? Take an honest inventory of the messages that you may or may not have sent to your kiddo. Right? So sometimes we think we're being hopeful when actually the language that we're using and the vibe that we're bringing.
[00:12:28] Is a message of, I don't think you can handle this without me. I don't believe in you. And so I need to like really nail it down and make sure that you're gonna do what I want you to do. Right. And that's how, that's not what we want them to take away. It's not useful. Right. And you've heard me talk so much about how important it is for us to remember the long-term goal.
[00:12:52] Of critical thinking, of developing their critical thinking. So this step, this reflection, it's really about self-awareness and not self-blame. It's okay if you realize, Ooh, shoot. Yeah, I have been. A total micromanager up until this point. Yay. Great. Good realization. And this is your chance to choose a different approach, right?
[00:13:20] You get to try it differently this year. You get to really work on showing up in a way that is helpful. Right and not hurtful and really allows our kiddos to feel the weight of the responsibility of school. School is theirs, right? School is theirs. And of course it's gonna look differently for our seventh graders, our 12 year olds, than it is for our.
[00:13:46] You know, 12th graders are 17, 18 year olds. But it's the same concept, right? I've been a micromanager. How am I gonna let that go? What's it gonna look like instead? Right? So that brings us right to this third step, which is you get to let go of control, right? And before you even do that, actually. Actually, and this is kind of part of the reflection piece.
[00:14:14] Before you even do that, you get to check your assumptions. What are you assuming about your kid? Do you believe that they would be willing to talk to you about the upcoming school year and routines and making agreements? Are you imagining being shut out? Right? Do you think that it could be different? Do you believe that it could be different?
[00:14:35] These are important questions to ask yourself because what I'm inviting you to do is really, again, let go and allow your kiddo to have their school experience and to remember that whatever school experience they're gonna have is going to feed them. Lessons and feedback and experiences that can continue to inform them moving forward.
[00:15:02] And just FYII have mentioned Ian's calculus class over the summer. Right. It's been really tough and I have some exciting news. Friday was his final last week, Friday, and the week before that Sunday, he said something to me like, maybe I won't even try. I don't think it matters what I get. I don't think I can pull this class.
[00:15:29] Maybe I'll just blow the whole thing off. And of course I was like. What are you talking about? Right? Uh, Julietta. Scog, my business partner, was here at the time visiting with her fam, and she was such a great buffer. She said to him, oh my gosh, I remember calculus class in college. I missed so many things that I wanted to do because I had to study so hard because it didn't make sense to me.
[00:15:59] And you know, she just went on and on and just really validated his experience. Really met him where he was at. I watched the whole thing transpire and it was pretty great. And then I followed up with, and by the way, there is no giving up here, babe. You've got a week to go. I believe in you. You can do it.
[00:16:20] And he did it. He ended up with like a 72% in the class. He got a C, he passed. Woo. I believed in him every step in the way I believed in him. Right. I believed that he could do it if he put his mind to it. Could I control his experience? No. Did I want to? Yes. Could I guarantee what his grade was going to be?
[00:16:44] No. Did I want to Yes. Right. Did I want him to love learning? No. But he pulled it off and something that I've asked him a few different times in a few different ways. Was, you know, think about these summer classes and what you learned about being a student so that you can apply it in the coming fall semester.
[00:17:05] Right. And I think this same thing can be done with our middle school kids, with our high school kids. They're not gonna love every class. They're not gonna get straight A's, or maybe they will. Maybe you have that kid. But we have such a rich opportunity to let go of their academic experience, to let go of their grades, to let go of their overall joy of every subject, and instead sit in the questions and the curiosity.
[00:17:38] You can influence how they feel about what's possible for them. Right. You can decide to be their advocate and their resource. You don't have to be their enforcer, right? Positive discipline. Remembering the positive discipline invites us to focus on life skills over short term compliance, right? That means that we have to step back from that micromanager role and step into a mentor role, right?
[00:18:07] It's less, here's what you need to do and more. I'm here to support you while you figure it out, and I'm curious about what your thoughts are here. So letting go of control, becoming a mentor over the manager is such a useful mindset. So you gotta get there.
[00:18:37] And you might, you know, like I already mentioned, you might need to say, Hey, you know what, babe? I've been a micromanager. I'm sorry about that. That hasn't been so useful. This leads us into the next piece. Schedule a time to talk and set the tone. Right. Schedule a time to talk with your kiddo about the start of the new school year and set the tone.
[00:18:59] Respect your teen by letting them know that you wanna talk about the upcoming school year and give them a couple of times to choose from. This simple act just says, I respect your time and your autonomy. Right. It's kind and firm. It's freedom within structure. You create this container, and when it's time to talk, start with some humility.
[00:19:20] Own anything you've said or done in the past that may have felt controlling or discouraging. You know what that is, right? You know how you have shown up to this whole thing, right? I know for me, I'm always owning. I've been a little controlling, or I've been judgmental, or I've done more talking and less listening.
[00:19:44] Whatever it is for you, you get to start, right? And then you get to be explicit about how much you believe in your kiddos. So you might say something like, I know in the past I've come on really strong about what your grades are and what your assignments look like. And I want you to know I totally believe in you.
[00:20:05] I know you are capable of navigating the school year in a way that works for you, and I'd love to hear what you want this school year to look like and how I can be more supportive and more helpful than I've been in the past. Right? So we're really setting the stage, we're opening the dialogue for collaboration instead of defensiveness.
[00:20:31] So we're starting with, listen, you matter to me. This matters to me. I believe in you. When can we talk about this? Sometimes even just when can we talk about, this feels a little too open-ended, so it could sound like I've got time Thursday afternoon, or I've got time Saturday morning. We can go get a smoothie.
[00:20:52] We can go get a coffee, we can go out in the world. I'll bring a notebook and we'll just talk about a few things. Right. I really am excited to hear your thoughts and your worries and your feedback around, you know, what's coming up, which is a new school year, and I really wanna be in collaboration with you.
[00:21:11] So you schedule it, you set the tone, and then you get into curiosity and non-judgment. You get into curiosity and non-judgment. So. You make that date, you show up, right? You get those coffees or that smoothie and find a place to sit and you get to start by saying something. You know, it's, you're kind of like the beginning of creating an agreement.
[00:21:40] You're gonna start with, tell me about how you're feeling about the upcoming school year. Tell me how you're feeling. What are your thoughts? Do you have any worries? What are you excited about? Right? What are you hopeful for? What do you want your grades to be? How can I help you? What can I do to help you reach your goals?
[00:22:01] How can I, when it looks like you're a little off track, I wanna be able to support you without you feeling controlled or judged. What could that look like? Really like you are. I was just talking about this with a client. You are in that problem solving solution focused mindset. You're handing it over to them and saying, I'm here to support you.
[00:22:27] What do you want this to look like? Curiosity is useful because it engages the problem solving part of the teen brain. It tells them, I trust you to think this through. I trust that you have thoughts about this. I trust. You right. I believe in you. And equally important, like I've already mentioned, is staying nonjudgmental.
[00:22:49] You've heard me say this 5 million times. Teens want to feel seen. They wanna feel heard, they wanna feel validated. And when we meet their ideas with criticism or sarcasm, their brain shuts down. Yeah, their brain closes the door to collaboration and they go into protection mode. Really? And they're like, you know what?
[00:23:12] Peace out. Even if their plans sounds unrealistic, you might say something. You know, you can use curiosity. Okay, I hear you. Wow, that'd be amazing. If you could pull off a 3.5, that'd be incredible. If you got all As. Talk to me about what that could look like and the baby steps you're gonna take to getting there.
[00:23:30] This keeps the conversation moving and leaves them in that thinking state rather than a defensive state. Right. And going back to the whole micromanager versus mentor, I wanna give you a couple examples that I'm I used in the workshop. So in the workshop we did a little role play and I shared some statements that.
[00:23:54] Fall under the management heading, and I gave some statements that stood out under the mentorship heading. So I'm gonna just share a couple with you. So one thing you know, managers say you need to do your homework before you do anything else, a mentor would say, what's your plan for getting your homework done today?
[00:24:16] A manager might say, I don't wanna hear anything about missing assignments. A mentor might say, what's your system for keeping track of assignments so that you don't miss them? Notice the curiosity. I'm actually gonna use that with Ian as he moves into his fall semester. 'cause I noticed his systems for keeping track of things are not great.
[00:24:38] And yes, I am judging him. Um, a manager might say, you're spending too much time on your phone instead of doing your schoolwork. A mentor would say, how do you wanna balance your phone time with your school responsibilities? So we went through a bunch of statements like that during the workshop call last night with the membership people, and really just kind of tried on those statements.
[00:25:04] Imagined being a teenager and processed what we noticed, and it was really powerful. It was really useful. So yeah, practicing curiosity, staying non-judgmental, staying in that mentorship space, and again, you know, routines, agreements, sharing our needs. These are crucial to these conversations. Right. So once you've explored their hopes for the year, their goals, it's time to talk about the practicalities.
[00:25:34] Right? And, you know, you're moving into a new school year, and as your kids get older, they get, they seem to get busier. They are going to have, they should have more space for freedom and autonomy. While they're busier. I would also encourage you to make sure that their schedules aren't so busy that they can't do things like contribute and show up to meals and be a part of the family.
[00:26:01] I think that there is some overscheduling issues happening out there, and I hear you, I hear you parents that are like, but my kids have so many interests. Great. And downtime, self-care, family time. Is as important as all of those extracurricular activities. So just putting that out there. So yeah, once you've explored what they want, you get to talk about things like when are they expected home in the afternoon or home for dinner or home in the evening, during the school week.
[00:26:36] Right. What is dinnertime? How are you going to communicate after school plans? What does bedtime and morning routines look like? What does homework look like? What are screen limits? These are a lot. I know I'm throwing a lot at you right now, but you know, these are some of the conversations that you get to have and be explicit about because I know that when, and I was just again talking about this with a different client.
[00:27:04] We have expectations. We have a lot of expectations, right? And oftentimes our expectations are not met, and then we get really bugged, really resentful, and everybody can feel it, right? But a lot of our expectations aren't stated explicitly. So these little routine pieces, these practical places during the day, during the week need to be brought up and talked about.
[00:27:33] So that we can curb that possibility for resentment or miscommunication. When are they expected home? What does dinnertime look like? What does the morning routine look like? What are you expecting? What are they expecting from you? How are you gonna communicate all these things?
[00:28:00] And you know, this is really where positive disciplines kind and firm mindset comes in, right? You get to share your needs and boundaries without slipping back into control mode, while also staying really curious and listening for your teen's desires and experiences. Right. You might say something. It's important for me to know how school's going.
[00:28:25] What's the best way for you to let me know that you've got it right? What does it look like to check in on your schoolwork? Is this something I should do at the end of every week? Do you wanna sit down and do it together every two weeks, monthly? Wanna start more frequent in the beginning of the school year as you get the feel for it?
[00:28:45] And then. As you, you know, really find your rhythm, we can back off. But it's really important to have a plan and to have an explicit plan. And remember, agreements are two way streets, right? You're agreeing on expectations together. You're not handing out a list. You're not writing up a contract for them to sign.
[00:29:05] You know, with a threat of no weekend plans if you don't do all these things. That is not. The come from. The come from is we're gonna collaborate, we're gonna work on this together and we're gonna keep our kids' goals and hopes and dreams at the center. Right? That's key here. And you know, you might be sitting there thinking, yeah, okay, that's great if my kid had hopes and dreams.
[00:29:36] I know that there are many of you with kiddos that seem really unattached. To school and unattached to the social stuff. Maybe they're really struggling with mental health. I know I've been there. I've been there. Right? A hundred percent. And when your kiddo struggles with meeting you in these conversations, that's another place to peel back a layer.
[00:29:58] So I notice it's really hard for you to talk about school with me. What is, what's going on? Help me understand. Right. Or I notice that you really don't wanna talk to me about this. I'm wondering if you'd rather talk to the other parent about this, or is there someone you know at school, a counselor, that you would like to talk about this with?
[00:30:18] Because it's, it is, it's important for us to touch base on this. And if you need to refer back, like last year was really hard or I've noticed that, you know, last year was hard for you and you really didn't like talking to me about stuff and I. You know, this is a part of this adolescent journey doing school.
[00:30:39] So really my only agenda is to support you in doing it in the way that you wanna do it, right, so that you can get the most out of it, and you can launch into whatever's next, right? With as many doors open as you want. There you go. And then finally, finally. Trusting the process, right? That is the final really key place.
[00:31:05] That's the really key thing to remember. Trusting the process like school is not about the end result and the grade and the GPA. I know that you feel like it is, but it's not. It's about the life skills that they're learning along the way. School is a laboratory. For life skills. Our kids need to feel the stretch and the tension of responsibility.
[00:31:32] That means they're gonna fail tests. They're gonna miss assignments. Right. Or they're gonna have a tough talk with the teacher, or you know, as Ian said, he passed his calculus class by the hair on his neck. That was his phrase. I thought it was kind of funny, you know? And to me, the gift. And that experience was one, sticking with it, even when he was so deeply discouraged and frustrated and worried that he wasn't gonna pull it off, right?
[00:32:00] He did it in the end. He kept tweaking his study habits. He reached out to the teacher a few times. Didn't love the response that he got, but he did it. He had tutoring. He met even with his big sister. And she tried to help him. He met with other people in the class, so there was so much that he got to practice beyond just calculus, right?
[00:32:21] So keep that in mind. Keep that in mind. Our kids need to feel the tension. Of their academic journey. Right? And these moments can be uncomfortable for them and for us. I definitely felt a lot of discomfort this summer when Ian was having like massive temper tantrums about this class. Like you guys, oh my God, I, it was a lot.
[00:32:50] It was very uncomfortable, but this is where resilience and problem solving and self-advocacy is birthed and nurtured, and grows, right? We have to remember the entire process is the key here. The process is the key, not the end result, right? When we rush into rescue. We rob them of that result and rescuing looks like either enabling or it can also look like controlling and taking over and being overly demanding, right?
[00:33:26] So when your teen stumbles, when they struggle in school, remember this is a part of their practice. My job is to support, not to steer. My job is to support and to listen and to see them. My job is to navigate my own nervous system. Because their struggle definitely triggers my internal radar, and it's hard to watch them struggle.
[00:33:56] And they will. And that's okay. You get to keep coming back to these tips and these skills. You get to keep coming back and having the conversation. So before the school year, here's what we talked about. Here's what your goals are. We're a month in. How are you feeling now? What might you wanna tweak? How did the bedtime routine, breakfast routine, dinner routine, afterschool routine, how does that feel?
[00:34:19] You get to keep touching base with them and keep this conversation alive. Isn't that what we do? Isn't that how we are all navigating life? We get to keep assessing, reassessing, tweaking, moving forward, right? So as you head into the back to school season, remember, center yourself because your energy sets the tone.
[00:34:39] Do a lot of reflecting and self-awareness. Know your patterns and your dance moves that are influencing the experience. Let go move from manager to mentor when you can. Make sure that you are starting with respect and a belief in your kiddo by scheduling a time to talk and really setting that tone. Be curious and nonjudgmental as you invite them into the conversation.
[00:35:05] Work to collaborate on routines and agreements. Remember to stay kind and firm and finally trust the process. The goal is not perfect grades. The goal is life skill development. The goal is life skill development, parenting teens is messy and a pain in the ass sometimes. It's also really sweet and fun and beautiful, and you're not gonna be perfect at it, and you don't need to be perfect at it.
[00:35:34] What matters? Again, I'm gonna say this over and over and over. What matters is that your teen feels seen and respected and believed in.
[00:35:47] Thanks for hanging out with me today. If this episode was helpful, please share it with friends who are navigating the back to school season with a teen. Remember, we're in this together. I'm gonna see you next time. If you want that PDF download that correlates with this podcast, I'm gonna put the link in the show notes.
[00:36:07] So go to the show notes. You'll see that link for the PDF Opt-in. It's an opt-in, which basically means it's a resource that, and you'll join my newsletter list to get the resource. That's why it's an opt-in. If you're like, all of this sounds great, but I really, really struggle with this piece or that piece, or all the pieces of putting it together, book and explore call.
[00:36:30] I have room for new coaching clients, and again, the membership is going to be open. At the start of every month, so you can get in there. If this feels good to you, go to be spr.com/explore to get on my schedule and let's see what we can make happen because I've got you and I want you to feel supported.
[00:36:50] I want you to enjoy this season, and sometimes that's just having a community and a mentor like me, a coach like me, to support you through the hard stuff. So I've got you. Be spr audible.com/explore. Have a beautiful day. Have a beautiful weekend. I'll see you Monday. Bye.
[00:37:14] Thank you so much for listening. Thank you to my Sprout partners, Julietta and Alana. Thank you, Danielle, for supporting with the show notes as well as Chris Mann and the team at Pod Shaper for all the support with getting the show out there and making it sound good as I mentioned. Sharing is caring. If you're willing to pass on this episode to others or take a few minutes to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, it helps other parents find this useful content.
