Wondering if your teen needs help?
Navigating the journey of adolescence is a natural phase where teenagers embark on the path of self-discovery, forging their identities and asserting their independence. This transformative process often leads to friction between adolescents and their parents as they navigate the delicate balance between autonomy and guidance. It’s a period marked by learning, experimentation, and inevitable missteps.
Recognizing the fine line between typical teenage behavior and potential red flags can be daunting for parents. While some challenges are an integral part of adolescent development, others may warrant professional intervention, such as teen counseling. Understanding when to seek external support is crucial in fostering the well-being and resilience of both adolescents and their families.
Is your teen experiencing:
- Volatile, rapidly cycling or explosive moods
- Consistent irritation, even things they once loved
- Withdrawal from school and neighborhood friends
- Gradual or sudden decline in grades or academic performance
- Increased disciplinary issues at school
- Feeling indecisive or overwhelmed by future choices
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Physically lashing out – damaging or destroying some of their personal items
- Persistent sadness or depression
- Increase in social anxiety
- Bullying or peer pressure
- Volatile dating relationships
- Self-harm or suicidal thoughts
