Family therapist and renowned parenting expert unpacks the unique challenges teens face today--including isolation from friends and family, increased screen-time, and a steady stream of fear-based media--and helps parents guide them toward better mental health and life success.
Our kids are experiencing an unprecedented sense of isolation, interacting virtually in a world that seems ever more fearful with each news cycle. They absorb and internalize the stress and anxiety they see on their parents' faces and on the phone, laptop, tablet, and TV screens that are ever before their eyes. Not surprisingly, their mental and physical health are suffering. As parents, we want to know how we can help.
Practical and encouraging, Raising Healthy Teenagers helps you understand the mental, physical, and social toll the past couple years have taken on your kids. Then it offers proven strategies to help your teen get back onto a healthy path by
· reducing screen time and increasing green time
· learning how to be a social being again
· developing strategies to deal with disruptions in schooling
· reclaiming a structured day
· breaking the cycle of anxiety and depression
· and much more
