Parenting Teens with Anxiety

From stressful triggers to negative thoughts, help your teens cope with and overcome anxiety with these 5 simple steps…

In a world full of uncertainties, social pressures, and stress, it is the adolescents that take the biggest hit.

According to the World Health Organization, one in seven teenagers experience mental disorders globally – with anxiety and depression at the top.

This can manifest in various ways – from extreme self-consciousness and fear of being judged, to an explosion of panic due to the smallest of problems.

No matter how it manifests, anxiety can take hold of a teenager’s mind and adversely affect their health as well as quality of life.

As a parent, seeing your child suffer can be unbearable, especially when they become reserved, isolated, and visibly unhappy.

But due to their plummeting confidence and self-esteem, and their minds full of uncertainty, it can be hard to reach out, and it isn’t possible to just make their issues go away.
