  • Summary

  • The Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens Podcast is a place for inspiration, education and entertainment. You are not alone, the terrain of adolescence is messy. There are so many challenges for parents to move through - from chores, screentime, grades and sneaking out, to teen anxiety and college applications. We don't hold back here, all topics are on the table. I am your host, Casey O'Roarty, Positive Discipline Lead Trainer and parent coach, honored to share the space with you as we examine our parenting styles and impact on our relationships with our middle school and high schoolers. I’ve been in the trenches myself and embraced the opportunities for self help that raising my own kids offered me. The podcast includes interviews and solo shows centering risky behavior such as substance use and sexual development, as well as convos that deep dive into mental health and nurturing family relationships.

  • Eps 525: Support for parents with unmotivated teens

    Eps 525: Support for parents with unmotivated teens
    Nov 7 2024
    In today’s episode, I respond to a parent in the Facebook community who is seeking support for an “unmotivated” 14-year-old, wanting a coach for help with goals, motivation, executive functioning, and self-care, ideally within budget and virtual. I explore the difference between being “unmotivated” and “uninspired,” suggesting that teens may seem unmotivated due to broader issues like discouragement or lack of inspiration. Instead of trying to “fix” teens, I encourage listeners to reframe the situation by asking, “What is getting in my child’s way?” I emphasize curiosity, encouragement, and a connection-based approach, allowing teens to express their needs and experiences without judgment. I also remind parents to avoid labeling, stay present, and focus on personal growth, trusting that their child will ultimately find their way.
