Teen Stress
Parenting teens is both beautiful and hard.
You want to protect them, but you also know they’re finding their own way, and that can feel like walking a line between holding on and letting go.
When your teen seems moody, distant, or easily overwhelmed, it’s easy to wonder what you’re doing wrong.
But often, it’s not about you; it’s their nervous system trying to keep up.
Overwhelm can show up as irritability, withdrawal, or exhaustion. Sometimes, shutting down is their body’s way of saying, “I’ve reached my limit.”
Your calm presence matters more than the perfect words.
🌻 Slow things down.
🌻 Offer rest.
🌻 Listen without rushing to fix.
When you stay steady, you remind their body that it’s safe, and that they’re not alone in what they’re feeling. 💛
