Important Life Coaching Advice For Teenagers

I have just returned from my twelve year old step-daughters parents evening. It was rather a bizarre couple of hours as I will explain – I believe my step-daughter may well have learned a thing or two from it – well at least I hope she has. The teachers gave her some important life coaching advice which I will write about in this article.

I would have to say that even though she is no genius, my step-daughter is a very capable person – when she puts her mind to it. One of her faults however is that she just does enough, she is not naughty at school but does not give one hundred percent to her studies. This may be due to the fact that she has a stuttering problem; we have looked into the various ways of how to stop stuttering and I am now happy to report that she has achieved fluency after we purchased a seventy minute therapy DVD from a speech centre in the UK.

Before we attended the parents evening we had the opportunity to read her school report. She thought this report was very good as she was above average in her year, this was certainly borne out in her recent examination results. Not asking enough questions, being lazy, rushing homework, not becoming involved with the class discussions – this was most certainly not good enough and were things that made me quite and her mother quite frustrated.

There is a terribly smart reason! Have you ever given someone a present, and once they open it they react with very little enthusiasm? They assert flatly, “Oh yeah, thanks, I have been wanting one in all those.” Their words say “many thanks” but their heart says, “huge deal”. You’ll be able to feel that, cannot you? Does it inspire you to wish to give them another gift? Probably not. On the other hand, if you give someone a present and that they exclaim, “Oh THANK YOU, I simply find it irresistible!”, doesn’t that raise your heart? You are feeling appreciated, and happy that you just created them feel appreciated.
