Today's teenagers generally face more stress than the teens of previous generations. Teens must deal with increased competition to get into college or find good jobs after graduating from high school. They also face incidences of at-school violence that were practically unheard of prior to the 1990s. If you are the parent of a teen, you may be worried about the stress that he or she faces. Fortunately, you can help your teen cope with stress in a healthy, constructive fashion.
It's important that parents encourage their teens to do well in school. You want to push your teen to do his or her best. Be sure that you are encouraging achievement without being overbearing or placing too much pressure on your teen. Praise your teen when he or she gives an assignment or activity his or her best try. Even if your teen doesn't excel in that particular course or club, teens need to know that their efforts are valued. Offer to help your teen if he or she struggles in a certain subject.
Being actively involved in community or volunteer activities can also help ease stress. Assist your teen in picking out an activity that he or she will enjoy. Many teens volunteer because they know that doing so can improve their chances of being admitted to their college of choice. However, teens will benefit more from activities that they are generally interested in doing. You may wish to volunteer with your teen to show your support. Volunteering with environmentally minded projects can also provide an opportunity for teens to get exercise outdoors. Exercise and sunlight are excellent stress busters.
Make sure that you've talked with your teen about drugs, alcohol and sex. These topics can be difficult for teens and parents to discuss together. However, they can be serious stressors in a teenager's life. It's important that your teen feels comfortable approaching you if they are facing peer pressure regarding these issues. Remember to stay calm when discussing such issues with your teen.
No parent wants to see his or her teen suffering from stress. However, if your teen seems overwhelmed, it is important that you seek professional help immediately. Most school districts have counselors or psychologists on staff who can assist teens. Learning how to cope with stress will help your teen as he or she prepares to enter college or the work world.
