5 Tips to Help your Teens Cope with Stress!
𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏! This is essential to their growth and development. Their changing bodies and evolving minds need at least 8-10 hours. 
𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬! In today’s society, it is so easy to criticize or pick apart someone’s weaknesses. We need to show our children what makes them special and encourage them in the areas that they can excel at. This can look vastly different from teen to teen. 
𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲! We could all use some more happiness in life! Help your child find a sport, hobby, activity, etc. that they truly love. This gives teens a fun outlet for some “Me Time!” as well as boosts their confidence! 
𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲! Exercise is one of the BEST ways to relieve stress. Whether it’s a short walk around the block, or a long bike ride, the exercise releases chemicals in the brain that can brighten their mood. 
𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. This can seem challenging or daunting 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.
