Like last week’s episode, this week’s Confession is another one of my most downloaded podcasts. I chose “How to Water Your Teenager” for our last post before I take a break in August because I NEED THIS REMINDER: Mags, keep your mouth shut as much as possible.
Someone once taught me these 3 magical questions to ask myself before I open my mouth:
(Come to think of it, that line of questioning also does wonders for my marriage!)
And hey, maybe a great way to shift your focus away from your kids would be to sit down and write a little something to submit to Mags for the upcoming season of Confessions. You can get all the information about our TeamC Summer Submission Campaign by clicking the link.
I will leave you with one last writing tip: Let. It. Go. Team, you know this. You don’t remember what I talk about week to week. You don’t hang on every word. You often don’t even remember where you heard it if you DO remember what I shared! Team, I can’t tell you the number of times, over the past decade, when I’ve had friends and family members quote me to me. They begin with something like, “I don’t remember where I heard this, but someone the other day was talking about teenagers and something about water them, but the point was…stop micromanaging your kids.” So let it go. Done is better than perfect. If I can do this, you can absolutely do this! And hey, even if you don’t believe in you, know that I believe in you.
So now, let’s enjoy this last Summer Rewind from the spring of 2023 and I’ll catch you guys again in September!
