Hello,
Stress can take a toll on adults, let alone teenagers who are on the cusp of getting familiar with the responsibilities, be it management of a daily school, tasks, juggling between homework and college applications, suffice it to say, it is important to notice the call of help in their demeanor. There are some of the tips that have worked for me to help combat my teenage sister's stress. Fortunately, it not only help you to be present in their life but also maintain family time.
1. Teach your children the importance of work management skills as they start high-school.
2. This is the most effective therapy to relieve stress: Create family rituals together.
3. Do not demand perfection.
I hope these tips help you in some way.
Best of Luck!
Anxiety is a hard thing to deal with. He needs to research things that can help him calm. Tips and techiniques that he can practice when he begins to feel anxious. Another thing that would be good for him but he will have to want to do it himself. He needs to step out of his comfort zone begin socializing and maybe having a meal with another person. This part is hard but my son is starting as a freshman year of highschool at a new school. He gets anxious and feels anxiety also when change comes up. He is not good at socializing and really struggles to understand others (on Autism spectrum). This year he is doing good though, and when I spoke to him. He told me he decided to try to talk to one new person everyday. He also explained he would remind himself after that interaction if it was negative that there will be another chance tomorrow. I am proud of him because he is young but he is making the effort to overcome his Anxiety, autism and other BH conditions.
