Intro to Keeping Your Influence Through the Teenage Years

hopeinreallife on January 2, 2024

Over the years working with teenagers and their parents, there is one consistent thing I have heard—and it’s something along the lines of:

  • “It’s like overnight, I had a different kid”
  • “my son / daughter is hanging out with the wrong crowd and I’m not sure what to do”
  • “they don’t seem to listen to me any more. Anything I do is a fight.”

The list goes on… but the sentiment is the same. When our kids are moving into and through the teenage years, it seems like our influence in their lives is diminishing. But that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case.

In this series, we will look at the reasons why our teenagers seem to be pulling away, and some tips and strategies for keeping our influence in their lives—even if it looks different than we thought it would.

Thanks for joining us for this journey—and remember, no matter what is going on at home, you are not doing as bad as you think you are.

Welcome to financial principles. These modules are for anyone that wants to build savings or if you find that you’re constantly running out of money before the next paycheck hits or just want to know where it all goes. 

During these modules, we will touch on how our beliefs, behaviors and results impact each other. In addition, we will discuss what are our priorities are and discover how lifestyle choices impact our finances.

We will also discuss budgeting, debt and how to make better decisions—which ultimately leads to freedom.  In a recent article, 42% of US adults say that financial worries are negatively impacting their mental health. 

By intentionally looking at where your money goes, you will be able to see what you value. Aligning what you value with good money management will lead to a life of confidence, not stress and worry.

In the upcoming modules, you will meet some experienced money managers to help along this journey.
