Help Teens Identify Stress To Avoid

When it comes to stress, what your teen wants to avoid and what your teen should avoid may be two different things. School can be stressful, but it’s not realistic (or healthy) to avoid it. On the other hand, choosing a different route home from school if they always encounter the same stressful person in the same place is an easy way to reduce stress in one aspect of your teen’s life. Help them determine what can be avoided by thinking about problems they don’t need to deal with. This will help them conserve energy for things they need to take on.
