The teenage years can feel like a mix of chaos and growth. One minute they’re full of ideas and energy, the next they’re shutting down or pushing back. But underneath it all, something powerful is happening. They’re becoming who they are.

The decade of adolescence is a messy one. They’re no longer kids but not quite adults either. It’s a time of exploring identity, testing limits, and discovering what matters to them.

So, how can we support them? We can stay curious, not reactive. We let them try new things and let them fail. We listen more than we advise. We notice and encourage their strengths. We be as steady as possible.

The teenage years are about becoming. They are a bounty of potential. They are beginning their move from who they are, to who they could be. We are just helping foster potential into it’s highest vision.
