Help me with my Teen

Are you parenting a Teen with ANXIETY 24/7?

You notice that what is so easy for other children and families to do is almost impossible for you and your child with anxiety.
Your conversations with your child feel like a never ending loop, laced with “What if’s” and “Buts” often leaving you with a chance to get a word in.
Maybe its situational anxiety, school based anxiety or maybe your teen is just a worrier?
Your teen’s self-esteem is taking a battering and getting lower and lower.
All this is leaving you feeling frustrated, exhausted, worried and bleary eyed “Google-ing” for answers and help.

Who is spending more time on their devices than with you and you’ve no idea how that happened.
Is always looking for more ‘stuff’.
Bribery that used to work isn’t.
Who is the boss anyway in this family?
AND your Teen prefers time with peers over you – feels like you are invisible, unwanted?
Something needs to change and to happen fast.

Are you nagging, repeating yourself over and over with your Teen?
Finding that you are raising your voice more and more often resulting in shouting at your Teen and you hate behaving like this?
Decisions you make are constantly challenged by your Teen, negotiated and re-negotiated.
Your Teenager is always looking for more, more attention, more clothes, more money and it’s getting worse.
When are these hormones going to calm?
Your teens room is a glorified pig-sty.
Your Teen spends more time on their devices than with you and you’ve no idea how that happened.
Tragically your Teen demands and gets to spend more time with his/her peers it’s like you are invisible and being pushed out further and further of your Teen’s life.
You didn’t behave like this as a Teen where’s respect gone?
Though you are busy and want to raise a happy, well-adjusted human this isn’t happening. You’re seriously worried at your Teen’s behaviours and wondering what have I and am I doing wrong?

I am deeply saddened that your Teen is having this tough experience in their young life and in your family.
Grieving is as individual as our fingerprints and you may already be seeing how your children are grieving differently.
I can help you to support your Teen’s grieving journey with Online Parenting Specialist Support.

Noticing that your Teen avoids new things and situations.
Your Teen blames others for their own mistakes.
Gets frustrated very easily.
Hearing lots of negative self talk and comparisons to others.
Has a fear of failure and embarrasses easily.
All this is leaving you feeling frustrated, exhausted, worried and bleary eyed “Google-ing” for answers and help.

Are you having a daily morning “battle of wills” to get your child inside the school door?
Homework takes hours and leaves you both exhausted and stressed?
Your child’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) is soon and you haven’t a clue what it is, what to do or how to prepare?
