Are you teaching your teen to be themselves—or unintentionally pressuring them to become who you think they should be? As moms, we want our teens to be confident, authentic, and true to their values. But what happens when their values clash with ours? How do we help them fit in without losing themselves? And how do we stay true to ourselves while protecting our relationship with our teens? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, I talk with Dr. Patricia Hewlin, author of Staying True to You: Unlock the Power of Your Middle Self and Live with Confidence, Integrity, and Peace of Mind. Dr. Hewlin challenges the popular advice to "just be yourself" and introduces the concept of the middle self—finding a healthy balance between authenticity and conformity. She explains why being authentic isn't always helpful, why fitting in isn't always bad, and how knowing our core values helps us make wiser choices in our relationships. We explore how moms can unintentionally impose their own values on their teens, especially around achievement, friendships, college choices, and independence. Dr. Hewlin encourages moms to practice "vigilant curiosity" instead of reacting to resistance. When our teens push back, they may be protecting something deeply important to them. By asking better questions, we can discover what matters most to our teens instead of assuming we already know. You'll also learn the three essential practices for developing your middle self: introspection, discernment, and temperance. These skills help both moms and teens recognize their non-negotiables, avoid unhealthy extremes, regulate their emotions, and build relationships based on mutual respect. Instead of simply telling our teens to "be yourself," Dr. Hewlin encourages us to help them "be your empowered self." Three Key Takeaways Authenticity and conformity aren't all-or-nothing. Being true to yourself doesn't mean saying everything you think, and fitting in doesn't mean losing yourself. The middle self allows you to honor your values while respecting others. Get curious about your teen's resistance. When your teen pushes back, ask what value may feel threatened. Their need for autonomy, connection, or individuality may be different from yours. Understanding their values can transform conflict into connection. Model the middle self. Practice introspection to know your values, discernment to understand what a situation requires, and temperance to regulate your responses. When moms learn to navigate these tensions, they give their teens the tools to do the same.
