of what they value most. One of the wisest ways to inspire
teens is to first help them determine their true and current
highest values – and secondly, to help them fill their day with
meaningful activities that are congruent with those highest values
(or at least link the activities requested of them to their top
three highest values), so they feel they are achieving what they
would love and doing something meaningful.
Everyone, regardless of age, culture or gender, lives by a
unique set of values – a hierarchy of values or priorities. When
your teen aligns their daily actions with that which is most
important to them, it awakens greater competence and allows
them to fill their day with spontaneously inspired actions. It
encourages discussion about the goals that inspire them and
what they can pursue to help fulfil those aims. When you help
them fulfil what is truly most important to them, they are more
resilient to including other requested activities.
It’s also important to allow your teen to have adequate
personal freedom and autonomy to explore and experience
what is truly most meaningful to them. In doing so, they learn
to embrace the balance of the challenges and opportunities
that come with it. With a loving balance of parental challenge
and support, your teen will naturally develop the habits and
self-confidence to solve any challenges they encounter in their
evolving life… now that is inspiring!
