TRUTH: A parent’s job is to teach their teen to take accountability and responsibility for their results, right? Yes, but not likely the way you’re going about it. Forcing your teen to be more accountable comes from a need for control because they’re not being the way you want. Your comments come from blame and your teen builds a shame story - “I’m not smart enough, lovable, etc.” or “I’m stupid, a f@ck up, a failure, lazy, dumb, etc.” Accountability is one of the most vulnerable actis that takes great courage to own results WITHOUT attaching them to self-worth, the opposite of what they’re currently experiencing. Teens need an invitation to accountability as you model it without guilt, blame or shame to build emotional safety, resilience, and confidence.
