If you live with a teenager, you know all too well that their big emotions can turn into big actions. This is because every emotion has an action or urge attached to it.
As students get ready to return to in-person learning this fall, teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors are preparing to offer support for returning and incoming students with worsening mental health issues.
When your teen approaches you with a problem they are facing at school or they talk to you about a situation that made them feel upset or angry, your immediate reaction might be to try to solve the problem.
Have you ever arrived at a destination only to realize that you spaced out and don’t really remember driving there? If you’re like most drivers, this has probably happened to you at some point or another.
As a parent, you have certain duties and responsibilities that you are obligated to provide for your teen. These are necessities that your teen has the right to have regardless of their thoughts, words, and actions.
Like most parents, you want what’s best for your teen. In order to help them succeed, it’s only natural that you have high expectations for them and that you provide support and encouragement to help them meet these expectations.
