In this episode of Plan P, Sarah Pollak and Quinn Faison tackle the age-old topic of how to talk to your teenager about getting piercings and tattoos.
Let's face it, every generation has its "thing" that shapes their identity, and in 2023, tattoos and piercings are far less taboo than they might have been decades ago. Many parents worry about job prospects and societal judgments, but Sarah and Quinn are here to remind us that these concerns are often generational.
Join us as we explore the evolution of self-expression and dive into the heart of the matter: having an open and understanding conversation with your teen. There's no one-size-fits-all solution, but the way you approach this delicate subject can significantly impact the openness of communication with your teenager. Remember - tattoos can be removed or concealed, and piercings can be taken out!
Tune in for valuable insights, practical tips, and the reassurance that your relationship with your teen can remain strong through it all.
This Week’s Practice: Pause & Reflect
Take a moment to reflect on your own teenage years. Think back to something you wanted to do that your parents disapproved of—whether it was a hairstyle, choice of attire, music preference, or experimenting with habits like smoking. The purpose of this exercise is to connect with your own youthful desire for independence and identity. Remember that as teenagers, we all had our rebellious moments, driven by the need to fit in and belong. This reflection helps you empathize with your child's perspective, fostering understanding and open communication. It reminds you that these desires for self-expression are a natural part of growing up, and approaching your teen's choices with empathy and respect can strengthen your relationship and trust with them.
