59. 5 Mindset Shifts when Raising Tweens and Teens

Tess Connolly LCSW talks with Nellie Harden about 5 mindshifts when raising tweens and teens. They talk about being the family architect and the great transition when we shift from raising young children to tweens and teens.

• Nellie introduces herself and tells us what she does now in her business and how she helps young women in the second half of childhood. 
• Nellie talks about her podcast and platform “The 6570 Family Project” which is how many days we have from our children being born to reaching 18yrs of age and how in this time we are setting the foundation of someone else’s life.
• Nellie talks about the population that she works with now and how she serves them.
• Nellie talks about how different all our children are and how we need to reach them all differently according to that specific child so you can build up those relationships and set the foundations for their childhood.  
• Tess and Nellie discuss “the great transition” as we move through a time where our children start to separate from us as parents. 
• Nellie talks about the team mentality and approaching things differently as you move through this transition together. 
• Tess and Nellie talk about our children having a sense of who they are and where they belong and that we need to help them not live outside in but help them live inside out.
• Tess and Nellie talk about the importance of one and one time with each of your children and how we can use this time to check in with our children. Nellie talks about how she does that with her children and how it works for them.
• Tess and Nellie talk about how we approach having this one on one time with our children if they havent been used to us doing it and how we move into having this time with them and connecting. 
• Tess and Nellie discuss the importance of having patience with our children and giving them time to open up within these conversations. 
• Nellie is most grateful for her insatiable want to learn which is at the root of everything that she has been able to do as a parent, person, teacher and member of society and the world.
