The teen years are developmentally crucial and can be a trying and challenging time. It is a time of moving away from the family unit and towards peer groups. It is a time of experimentation and a search for identity. This can provide challenges for both teens and parents alike.  Parents want to help teens, however the impulse of a teen can be to reject or turn away from parental involvement and towards outside influences. When you consider the influences a teen is exposed to today – social media, internet, TV, magazines, friends and society at large – and the pressures they face, our teens have never had so much to contend with and may feel overwhelmed. Every young person can respond to a difficulty in life differently. If you want your child to receive support, one solution can be to hire a youth coach. I can offer trustworthy support without any judgement. Sometimes a few talks may already lead to a significant improvement.
