COPING WITH ANXIETY
Anxiety is common among teenagers. Sometimes normally happy teenagers will become anxious or fearful about something for a day or two, and then they will be back to normal without any need for parents to take action
Some teens seem to suffer more intense and frequent feelings of anxiety that prevent them from participating in activities
This presentation will give you some suggestions on how to help a teenager cope with and reduce their fears

Anxiety may range from a fear of being hurt in a fight, to embarrassing themselves in front of the class or worrying about an upcoming event
Teenagers express their emotions is different ways; angry/aggressive, withdrawn, tired and/or irritable
They may have trouble sleeping, show little interest in eating and say very little

Teenagers may feel ashamed or embarrassed about their anxiety
Explain to them they are reacting in a very normal way

With no-one around, ask the teenager to sit comfortably and count their breathing
Get them to monitor their breathing several times a day
This will help them slow down their breathing when facing a feared situation

Ask the teenager to write down the thoughts he/she has when anxiousness starts
Get them to write down a different, positive thoughts to replace each of the negative thoughts

POINTS TO REMEMBER
Daily disappointments and fears are all part of life and teenagers need to be able to cope with the regular stress of daily living
Often, it does not require parents to take action, other than to provide understanding and support
When excessive worrying takes over their lives, parents need to take action and consider seeking professional help
Some teenagers who are very anxious may also be depressed……

Ask them to think about places they would go and to identify one or two people they think they could be friends with
When the teen suggests names, ask them what he/she knows about that person
Encourage the teen to join activity based social groups
This type of situation is usually easier to interact with others
11/15/2017
26
WHAT TO DO IF THE TEENAGER DOES NOT WANT FRIENDS
Explain that friendships help develop social skills and intimate relationships when they become adults
Affirm solitary activities, such as reading and computers, are acceptable
If the teenager does not want to talk about their friends, encourage them to talk to a reliable adult or trusted friend
