It\u2019s full of endless changes, ridiculous pressures to perform and raging hormones. No wonder the National Institute of Mental Health states that nearly one in three teenagers will experience an anxiety disorder.<sup>1<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<p>Before we go any further, I want to be clear: An anxious teen is not a broken one. At its core, anxiety in a teenager is a signal. It\u2019s an alarm telling them they\u2019re unsafe, out of control or lonely.\n    <\/p>\n<p>So, here\u2019s the deal: To begin healing from anxiety, your child needs secure and loving relationships. <em>They need and want you.<\/em> Your child isn\u2019t a problem to be fixed. They\u2019re a precious person you\u2019ve been entrusted to love. They often don\u2019t need your advice as much as they need your presence.\n    <\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, let\u2019s talk about ways you can help your teen through their anxiety.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>1. Check yourself.\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>First, I need to share some tough love: <em>If you\u2019re not okay, your kid probably won\u2019t be okay.<\/em> When you\u2019re worried about your kid, look in the mirror first. It\u2019s very hard for a child to <em>not<\/em> be anxious in a chaotic home. If you (or your partner) are facing mental health challenges, unemployment, divorce, addiction or loneliness, then your child will be directly impacted by the stress.\n    <\/p>\n<div class=\"BlogInsert-copy\">\n<p>Get expert money advice to reach your money goals faster!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As the parent, think of yourself as the thermostat that sets the \u201cemotional temperature\u201d of your home. Whether you realize it or not, your child is watching and <em>absorbing<\/em> your mood, attitude and emotional energy. When you walk into the room full of anger and anxiety, your child will absorb those feelings, internalize them, and assume it\u2019s their fault. But this works the other way too! If you\u2019re mentally, emotionally and spiritually healthy, you can be a source of peace and calm and connection.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Hear me say this: <em>You are worth being well<\/em>. Do what it takes to deal with your own anxiety, including seeing a therapist, if that would be helpful.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>2. Check your marriage (or your romantic relationship).<\/h2>\n<p>After taking care of yourself, the next step is to take a hard look at your marriage (or your romantic relationship). A kid\u2019s relationship to their parents is their anchor and model for how to connect with other people. When they feel tethered and safe at home, they can face the challenges and chaos that life will surely throw at them. But if you and your spouse aren\u2019t connected to each other, your child won\u2019t feel secure either. If you and your spouse relate to each other in anger and disrespect, your child will absorb and imitate those behaviors.\n    <\/p>\n<p>I want to pause and acknowledge those who are in a complex situation. Maybe you\u2019re a single mom working three jobs just to keep the lights on. Maybe you\u2019re on your second or third marriage. If you\u2019re in a relationship, do everything you can to model a loving, supportive relationship for your child. If you\u2019re not with anyone right now, then talk about your child\u2019s other parent with dignity and respect\u2014even when it\u2019s hard.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Remember: Teens are watching and absorbing everything.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>3. Encourage your child to sleep, eat, and be active.<\/h2>\n<p>Our mental and physical health are intertwined, making it impossible to calm the mind when the body is not well. One of the best ways to help someone with anxiety is to encourage them to take ownership of their body. And as a parent, you don\u2019t only encourage your child\u2014<em>it is your job<\/em> to make sure they\u2019re getting what they need.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Let me say it again:<em> It is your job to make sure your child\u2019s body is taken care of. <\/em>Here are the three basic ways to do so:\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eat<\/strong>: Our food has a direct impact on our mood. Take a stand and refuse to feed your child garbage. Make sure your teen is eating nutritious, whole foods and cutting out as much sugar and caffeine as possible (which can mimic or trigger the physical symptoms of anxiety). If money is a concern, you can learn how to eat healthy on a budget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sleep<\/strong>: In his book <em>Why We Sleep<\/em>, researcher and neurologist Dr. Matthew Walker notes that sleep deprivation causes increased aggression, bullying, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in adolescents. Teenagers need between eight to 10 hours of sleep <em>every single night<\/em>. Put guardrails around technology use at night so your teen can wind down properly before bed. Also, teens\u2019 circadian rhythms are naturally set a little later in the evening to later in the morning\u2014so don\u2019t freak out when they\u2019re in a night owl phase and let them sleep in whenever possible. They aren\u2019t always being lazy\u2014they\u2019re often getting much needed restorative, regenerative sleep. \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be active<\/strong>: Whenever possible, encourage your teen to move, run, lift, walk, play or hike, and do those things with them. Take a family walk after dinner. Throw foam balls at each other until you\u2019re both out of breath from running and laughing. Many studies have shown that exercise improves mental health, including anxiety.<sup>2<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Help your teen evaluate and locate the source of their anxiety. \u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Remember, at its core, anxiety is a result of feeling unsafe, out of control, and disconnected from meaningful relationships. You can help your teen examine their <em>ecosystem<\/em>\u2014the sum total of the world around them\u2014to see what\u2019s contributing to their anxiety.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Ask your child these three questions:\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Where do they feel unsafe?<\/strong> Are they being bullied? Do they feel attacked online? Are they being physically abused?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where do they feel out of control?<\/strong> Is there something coming up that they\u2019re worried about? Are they failing a class at school? Are they exhausted from an insane schedule? \u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where do they feel disconnected?<\/strong> Is it with you (as the parent), a specific friendship, teacher, teammate or group? Do they feel lonely at school or church? Do they have a safe group of friends they regularly hang out with?<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>5. Teach your child how to examine their feelings.<\/h2>\n<p>After you\u2019ve identified the sources of anxiety, teach your child a healthy way to respond to their feelings. By the way, this is a skill that many adults don\u2019t have. If you\u2019re not comfortable with your own feelings, focus on getting well first (see #1) so you can lead by example.\n    <\/p>\n<p>You can help your child navigate their anxiety by inviting them to:\n    <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Acknowledge and call out their feelings<\/li>\n<li>Demand evidence from them<\/li>\n<li>Recognize what they can and can\u2019t control<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let me illustrate this with an example. One Saturday afternoon when my son Hank was six years old, he was feeling super down. My wife went out to work in the garden with him and see if he would tell her what was going on. Turns out he was trying to figure out who he would choose to live with when my wife and I got divorced . . .\n    <\/p>\n<p>And we weren\u2019t anywhere close to getting divorced! He\u2019d heard about the havoc of divorce from an audiobook, and in his little 6-year-old mind, he assumed divorce was just a part of life. Heartbreaking, huh?\n    <\/p>\n<p>At this point, it didn\u2019t matter that his mom and I weren\u2019t anywhere near divorce. The important thing was that <em>his feelings were real<\/em>. Instead of correcting him, my wife responded with, \u201cYou sound scared, and that\u2019s a real feeling. Tell me where in your body you feel scared. Your heart\u2019s beating faster, and your tummy\u2019s feeling heavy? That\u2019s what happens when I get scared too! Thanks for sharing that with me.\u201d She was simply acknowledging the feelings and giving them space to breathe. \u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>The second part of this conversation is to demand evidence for those feelings. I asked Hank, \u201cDo you think mommy and I are going to get divorced?\u201d And he timidly answered, \u201cNo.\u201d My wife and I then talked about our commitment to one another and how we would not be getting divorced. <em>Ever<\/em>.\n    <\/p>\n<p>In this case, Hank had no evidence to support his fear. This happens all the time with anxiety. But on occasion, we <em>do<\/em> have good evidence for our fears. Your child might be anxious about failing a test . . . and they very well might. Your child might be terrified about a divorce . . . and you just got the papers in the mail. Let the evidence speak for itself. Covering up realities we don\u2019t want to face only leads to more anxiety.\n    <\/p>\n<p>The last step is to help your child focus on what they can control. Can my son control his parents\u2019 relationship? Unfortunately for him, no. In fact, kids control very little. But he can control whether or not he talks about how he\u2019s feeling. He can practice being honest and trust that I\u2019ll be there for him as long as possible. He can learn to write down what he\u2019s feeling.\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>6. Make relationships a top priority.<\/h2>\n<p>It is so, so important for your teen to have face-to-face interactions with you and other people who love them. I know, I know, you might think they\u2019d prefer to stare at a screen every single second of the day, but what kids crave (and need) more than anything is <em>your attention<\/em>\u2014physical proof that they matter to you. \u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>Be intentional about doing things with your child, whether it\u2019s a regular pizza and board game night, having their basketball team over to grill out, or taking your family on hikes. Go fishing. Have a water balloon fight.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Also, recognize that they will naturally transition from wanting to hang out with you to wanting to hang out with their friends, coaches, mentors or other folks. Let them foster new relationships. (If your kids\u2019 friends are a bunch of idiots, and your kid is seeking approval from people who don\u2019t have their best interests in mind, then you might need to step in and cut off those friendships.) The best-case scenario is that you create a home environment that is welcoming for your teen and their friends.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>7. Reduce or eliminate screen time whenever possible.<\/h2>\n<p>The evidence is overwhelming: Screen time is devastating for mental health\u2014especially in children and teens. Over the past decade, the number of children admitted to hospitals for suicidal thoughts and actions has doubled.<sup>3<\/sup> And studies repeatedly link increased social media use to higher rates of depression and anxiety.<sup>4<\/sup>\n    <\/p>\n<p>I know it\u2019s hard. I\u2019m living this unfolding nightmare with you. As a dad trying to do his best and a mental health professional, I don\u2019t allow either of my children access to personal devices. I encourage you to do the same, and to limit other forms of media\u2014like shows and movies and video games. If you do allow them to have screens, put guardrails in place to limit their use to specific times of day for specific purposes. (I unpack some practical ways to handle social media in this episode of my show.) \u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<h2>8. If necessary, get your child professional help.<\/h2>\n<p>If anxiety is impairing your child\u2019s ability to complete daily tasks or interact with people, if it suddenly becomes debilitating and overwhelming, or if it lasts for several months, please seek professional help. A great place to start is with their school counselor, but you can always do research to find a therapist outside of school. \u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>In almost every situation, when you take your child to counseling, you as the parent are the client. Any halfway decent counselor will get to know you and the dynamics of your house before they start working with your child. They should also establish some ground rules about patient confidentiality\u2014making it clear what they will and won\u2019t share with you from sessions with your child. Don\u2019t be caught off guard if the counselor or psychologist asks you to make changes to the way you think and act as part of your child\u2019s treatment plan. \u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>Remember: Your child is not a problem to fix\u2014they\u2019re a human being to love. Keep that attitude front and center as you work with a counselor.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>Anxiety Doesn\u2019t Have to Be Forever<\/h2>\n<p>For many kids, anxiety will come and go. As you work to parent your child when they\u2019re anxious, be kind to yourself. Keep communication open. Create space for your teen to speak honestly. And when you screw up (and you will), be honest and vulnerable. Be confident in the boring, repetitive, frustrating days. And just keep showing up!\n    <\/p>\n<p>I have one last suggestion for you: As you work to keep communication open with your teens on the good and the hard days, check out my conversation starters, Questions for Humans: Parents and Teens. These thought-provoking cards will help you put down your phones and actually connect. And I guarantee that some of these cards are just ridiculous enough to make it fun for your teen.\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramseysolutions.com\/personal-growth\/anxiety-in-teens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The awkward transition from childhood to adulthood known as adolescence is wonderful and mind-boggling and terrifying . . . for both kids and parents.
