Living With Emotional Teens: Emotional Intelligence Reflection

I believe we all must remember that being an adolescent is not something most of us would desire to relive. It's challenging to handle the different changes that come all at once-physical changes, emotional changes, and life changes.

During the adolescent years, the brain is under rapid development. When the brain is in this state, it is less able to access executive processes such as reasoning, or the capacity to exercise sound judgment.

In addition to that, it's also vital to examine the numerous things life puts in a teen's way that might result in trauma, anxiety, despair, or overall misery. In attempting to negotiate social circumstances, bullying and other pressures, school, numerous other duties, and family life, as well as starting (or continuing) the process of self-discovery, teenagers have a full plate indeed.

Teens are frequently confronted with circumstances that are beyond their control, and this may result in anxiety, which is founded on fear. What cannot be controlled may generate terror. The capacity to identify what can be controlled and what cannot be controlled is vital, and teenagers may find it advantageous to learn how to recognize and then let go of what cannot be controlled.

Admittedly, this is easier to say than to do! Much of this book includes techniques for parents to influence their adolescents' emotions. Not only that, but it also includes information that has a parent-children connection.

Finally, self-care is a crucial skill for both teenagers and parents to acquire; the resources they need from people they can trust.

A hug, words of support, or a shoulder (all without judgment) may be incredibly restorative. Teens and parents must be open to each other for emotional support.
