One of the most important things you can do as a parent of a teenager is to offer them validation. While this can be easier said than done, with a little practice, you can start using this skill with ease and make a tremendous difference in your teen’s life.
Everyone expects parents to be superheroes: always ready to step in and help, say the exact right thing at the exact right moment, and provide comfort when your teens need it most.
If you are the parent of a highly sensitive and highly emotional teenager, you have probably experienced moments when they have acted out in a major way.
Like any good parent, you want the best for your teen. So when your teen handles their emotions in a way that is not healthy, you want to do your best to help them change. However, a lot of times this is easier said than done.
Imagine you’re watching a movie, but every time the story starts to move forward, your streaming platform rewinds and jumps back to the previous scene over and over and over again.
