(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 05, 2009 ) Milwaukee, WI. Dr. Rick Schaefer, author of "Extreme Thought Makeover: 37 Days to Maximum Life", talks about parenting teenagers. He asks the question "How can a parent possibly find peace of mind when their teenager is out with friends for the evening, and there are so many scary options that teens have to choose from? The secret is in remembering that their child is deeply programmed to make life-giving choices, that they were born that way, and they manifest and they manifest fun, and safety, very easily!"

"Take a moment to review a mental slideshow of the life of your child up to this point" Dr. Schaefer said. If you do this right you will have many moments come up that were incidences of potential harm to your child. Perhaps they picked up a kitchen knife that you had laying on the counter while you were preparing a meal, and somehow they escaped receiving a nasty cut. How about when they learned to ride a bike, and took a couple of spills yet walked away unharmed. There may have been a moment in a crowded place, such as a visit to a zoo, when they seemed to have gotten lost but really did not. Most parents have experienced these situations, and probably many more, too! Somehow, in spite of close calls, their child is still walking the face of the Earth and is still in one piece.

Now think about the moments when your child was engaged in an activity which could have inflicted injury somehow, such as playing a sport, and no harm ever came to them. There is probably so many moments in their life like that that you cannot even begin to recall them!

So what is it that keeps that child safe, even in the face of harm? How did they manage to escape the countless opportunities to receive injury somehow, while participating in LIFE? "The answer is found in the children themselves and in their inborn desire to live a life filled with new experiences and joy. Just think about how easily children laugh, and how excited they are to know the world around them. We can easily believe that they are not born with a self-destructive goal because they would not make it past the age of two if they were", Dr. Schaefer pointed out.

This same desire for life and for exploration lives within them throughout their entire lives, including during their teenage years. Since parents often have very little real control over their teens choices, this is a crucial time to trust that their child makes the ones that bring them life. While this may be a difficult thought for a parent to embrace, it is the one thought that can help parents and teens get through a few challenging years with as little worry and concern as possible. Dr. Schaefer concluded by advising "Believe in the best, think about the best all the time, and the law of attraction guarantees that you will experience the best!"
