Optimism - NOT fear! Gen Z youth desperately need our encouragement that their best days are ahead.

At Betty Center, we are firmly on the side of equipping children, teens and young adults with the tools needed to create, build, innovate, and contribute to their own exciting futures…and to their shared piece of the American dream.

If your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, risk-aversion, avoidance or overwhelm, start talking to them about where those fears come from. Then help them take steps toward age-appropriate independence.

The media, our current hostile political climate, and the constant negativity on social media is scaring our kids into believing the world is a fearful, dangerous place. But the antidote to anxiety is the TRUTH…and the truth is we can only control ourselves and how WE show up in the world.

It’s time to remind our kids they can:

🔥 do hard things
🔥 take appropriate risks
🔥 contribute to their families and communities to continue to move our nation forward.

Self-confidence comes from agency and mastery over skills. Every single time. That’s how our nation was built and that’s how it’s going to survive. Our kids are the future. Let’s help them own it 💪🫶

Betty Center.
Find Yourself. Here.

OK parents, here’s a quick math equation we’ve learned (sometimes the hard way):

Little kid = little kid problems
Big kid = big kid problems

Example: you’re in the grocery store and your toddler is melting down - he wants that ridiculously unhealthy cookie, you’ve said NO, and he’s amping up the drama. You’re sweating, panicking…people are staring (judging, no doubt?!?)…and it’s suddenly become an ugly stand-off.

Wonderful. You do NOT have time for this.

Now what?😩 Do you give in or hold the line…even if it means leaving your cart and carrying him out of the store in full tantrum mode? What will it hurt if you give in just this once? What will it cost if you don’t? How long will he scream? How many glares can you withstand??

Every parenting power struggle calls for discernment. A strategy. Big-picture thinking. But who are we kidding? We’re just trying to survive here, people! 🤦‍♀️

Trust us, we’ve been there. And we know the pain, the stress, the guilt…the fear of judgment from others, even your own friends & family. None of it is easy.

We also know that old adage “short-term pain, long-term gain” has stuck around for a reason. It’s one thing to scoop an angry toddler out of a grocery cart and quite another to cajole a recalcitrant teenager into making curfew.

The math is important here. Because little kid problems left unchecked become big kid issues that are MUCH more challenging.

Teach your kids to tolerate the word “no” and help them tolerate it in the safety of their own family. So they learn to regulate their emotions and soothe themselves with your loving support and guidance. Best gift you can give them, we promise 🩷🎀🩷

That jerk in the airport line making a scene at the ticket counter? Most likely he used to be a kid who wasn’t taught to tolerate “the no”.

Poor guy. The math never lies.
