The teen years can be an incredibly difficult time to navigate for both the developing teen, and in turn the developing parent. It is both, teens and parents that are learning to adapt to the confusing stages of moving from childhood into adulthood, and both may require additional support through this time.
Society has changed rapidly, and with that our teens are being put under even more enormous pressure than ever before. The advancement of technology and development of social media means that there is a constant exposure to a bombardment of information, stimulation, increased social and and relational pressures to cope with for our already overloaded teens.
I often find that there are other common issues that our teens are facing:
Academic pressure, exam stress and performance nerves.
Developing and asserting identity and body image issues.
Chronic fatigue.
Hormonal imbalances.
Mood imbalances - anxiety, depression, anger and low self esteem.
Acne
Glandular fever.
Parents are working through these issues with their teen, however are commonly experiencing their own difficulties too:
Keeping their own emotions in check.
Setting new/ different appropriate boundaries.
Supporting their child's growing independence but maybe concerned about rejection.
Changes in communication style and language.
All of the above challenges and more will effect every parent and teen differently, and how they deal with them will present in all manner of ways!
