Instead of condemning, what if we leaned in with curiosity?

☑️ Ask: What might this child be trying to communicate?
☑️ Remind them their behavior is not who they are.
☑️ Practice empathy & self-regulation.

“Do I belong?”

It’s the big question every teen asks during the Identity vs. Role Confusion stage of development. This time of exploration is crucial for teens to figure out who they are and who they want to be.

💡 Here are some ways you can support them during this phase:

[@momentous @momentous]

• Encourage them to explore new hobbies and interests.
• Reassure them it’s natural for social groups to shift as they grow.
• Ask open-ended questions about what they value and what excites them.
• Be a steady source of support as they figure things out at their own pace.
