  • Teen Stress Test (1-29-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    It’s good to teach your teenager how to best cope with the stresses of everyday life.

    Teenagers today say they have more stress, but they don’t know how to handle it very well. So, take some time to teach them.

    First, if your teenager has too busy a schedule, help them cut out something. They may not know that’s even an option. Explain the need for occasional breaks and exercise. Let them know they can always talk to you about any matter. And be honest about your own stresses, like finances and jobs, since teens tend to think the worse when they aren’t informed.

    Finally, work at bringing some humor and fun into your home, including scheduling regular fun outings together.
