Does Your Teen Believe?
Do you believe in Santa Clause? Okay so maybe your teen doesn’t believe in Santa Clause any more, but does your teen believe in all they could be? Just like the faith required to believe in a Santa Clause or spirit of something like Christmas, there is a faith that your teen needs to in order to believe in their ability to mature into something more than they are now. Something that evolves from who they are now.
Santa Clause
When you look at celebrity yearbook pictures there is a resemblance sure, but they too were subject to the distinct look of adolescence that causes doubt and insecurity at what is often referred to as an “awkward stage.” It is the rare teen who survives without at least one moment of self-consciousness, anxiety over how other’s perceive them, doubt and insecurity. Less common is the belief that despite these feelings that everything will work out. They will achieve it if they can imagine it. They say that when Michael Bublee was a toddler he belted out a holiday song that knocked the sox off his family. He went to bed every night knowing he was going to be “Michael Bublee.” He said, “I just knew.”
Belief. In order to have this, your teen needs faith, described as taking a step when you are unsure of where the next rung is, but taking it anyway. Your teen needs your belief in them to take this leap. They trust you and when you say it is so, they are more likely to believe. Without this type of commitment to their own future, they can’t expect others to believe in what they are capable of.
So, does your teen believe? Do they believe in the power of them? Those who have walked the red carpet, climbed or flown to the depths of the earth or discovered some of the great mysteries of the world did not know, but they had faith and they believed. Help your teen do the same.
