Dad tries to invoke fear and threatens Enrique (e.g., I am going to kick you out of this house!) when upset with him but does not follow through with his threats. Dad tries to ground him but is not home enough to enforce the grounding. The grandmother does not engage in parenting.

white. Dad tends to prefer more traditional Korean values about
parenting and teen behavior; Mom is more flexible but tries to stay “on the
same page as Dad”. Family Relationships Peer Relationships Academic History/School Functioning
Karina has typically had low conflict with her parents. She states that this is because she feels like she cannot
disagree with her parents. Lately they have been fighting more. Her father does not want her to watch certain tv shows that her friends are allowed to watch or to start dating until she is 18; she is starting to feel frustrated by this. She is not allowed to be on social
media but her friends are allowed to have social media accounts.
Karina has always had a few close friends but has never had a large friend
group. She feels more disconnected from friends during the pandemic
because they are connecting on social media and she is not allowed to have

(Is this belief true? Is this belief helpful? What would a friend say if he/she/they heard this belief?)
MIND TRICKS TEEN VERSION
BLACK & WHITE THINKING
Viewing a situation or person as all good or bad, without noticing points in between.
Example: My mom will never understand me.
Dispute: My mom tries and we have had some good talks in the past.
PREDICTING THE WORST
Predicting the future negatively without considering other more likely outcomes.
Example: My depression has been around so long I am never going to feel better.
Dispute: I have to give time for therapy and medication to work. I can get better.
MISSING THE POSITIVE
Focusing on the negatives and failing to recognize positive experiences and qualities.
Example: I failed another math test. I can’t do anything right.
Dispute: There are a lot of things that I do really well.
FEELINGS AS FACTS
Believing something is true just because it is “felt” it so strongly without any evidence.
Example: Things are never going to get better between me and my friend. I just know it.
Dispute: We are in a rough patch. We have made it through tough times before.
JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS
Deciding that things are bad without any definite evidence.
Example: He did not call me when he said he would. He must not like me anymore.
Dispute: There are many reasons he may not have called, like getting stuck at work.
MIND READING
Assuming that you know what others are thinking without asking.
Example: My teacher must think I am not trying because I forgot my homework again.
Dispute: Teachers know kids do not turn in homework for many reasons. I can tell her mine.
EXPECTING PERFECTION
Expecting that you (or others) should do or say things perfectly.
Example: I can’t believe my dad said that in front of my friends. What is wrong with him?
Dispute: My dad, like me, make mistakes. No one is perfect.
