4๏ธโฃ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ! Exercise is one of the BEST ways to relieve stress. Whether itโs a short walk around the block, or a long bike ride, the exercise releases chemicals in the brain that can brighten their mood. ๐โฃ
5๏ธโฃ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ. This can seem challenging at times, but everything feels better once talked through. Learning how to communicate and manage stress is such a great life skill to achieve at a young age. Be a trusted parent or encourage them to find someone who they feel comfortable confiding in that will have their best interest at heart. It is vital that teens have someone more than just their peers to seek advice from!
