All about the Iceberg Metaphor

Shout out to all the parents of teens out there who are showing up and sharing and willing to be vulnerable
Connecting seeing an iceberg as a metaphor for children’s behavior

What’s opening the door to the behavior?
Perception of connection
Perception of influence
Perception of mattering
Trauma/adversity
Kids are ALWAYS making meaning with their underdeveloped brain – and forming beliefs from that place

Episode 104 on Making Amends
Always be moving towards nurturing relationship
