Teen Stress Management
Is your teenager telling you everything ... I bet they aren't ... this is why!
Teen stress management is not an easy task. It is an essential one though. Our teens today have higher stress and pressure levels compared to when adults were teenagers. Why?
Stresses on our teenagers comes from many sources
- school pressures of exams and school work
- peer pressures of the commercial world
- hormonal pressures as they develop
- expectation pressures of school, career direction, sports performance.
- Self pressures of how we deal with all the above issues
Adding into these common stresses are the brain fatigue activities. Television, computers and console games all stimulate the brain. If the brain is over-stimulated fatigue occurs.
Initially fatigue happens at a brain level, and then turns to physical fatigue, then physical ill health. Fatigue affects our ability to deal with stress, our concentration and attention levels, behavior at school and home.
Stresses for our teens today are complex. Stress management for adolescent years need not be complex. Simple and easy is best. Why?
Teenagers are lazy…
This is not a bad thing. This is how we use to approach life ourselves. Minimal effort for maximum gain.
Teenagers don’t want to work hard, push all the time or struggle. They want life to be simple and easy. The problem today is they are forced into a world that is high in energy and stress, full of pressures and demands.
Life should be fun and easy for our teenagers. It should be a time when they can relax and have fun. Enjoy life and be healthy.
If life was like this for teenagers, then school performance would improve. Behavior would be better and they could have balance.
Less stress equates to more energy. More energy means better concentration and attention. Higher energy means better emotional and physical health. This improves behavior and removes a lot of the day to day pressures and stresses.
Teen stress management needs to have an approach that is easy. It needs to create the life full of energy and health, and low in stress. Teen stress management needs to suit our teenagers.
Making a teenager write down or discuss their stress is hard, especially if it is to an adult. They mostly don’t know why they are stressed or where it comes from. Even if they did know, it tends to be situations that are unavoidable.
School and peer pressures are always there. The pressures we learn to put on ourselves is a learned behavior. Poor behavior comes from all our stresses mounting up.
To help our teenagers we must apply stress management for adolescent stresses, not adult stresses. Stress management must create:
- high confidence and self esteem
- better energy and health levels
- teach coping skills that prevent stress
- techniques that are quick and easy to do
- techniques that don’t make teens look unusual or different to others
This requires stress management that is
unique.
Teen stress management can be simple and achieve all of these goals. It just requires using methods that our teens can use, simply and easily.
