5 MINUTES TO REDUCE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR’S STRESS
& Build a Strong Mother Daughter Relationship
“I spend a lot of time ‘talking her down’ from anxiety-fueled stress attacks,” a mom said the other day.
I was slightly taken back, since her daughter is an advanced student that seemed to have it all together.
The mom continued, “[One of the biggest difficulties we have right now is] the unbelievable level of stress that the kids are under. My daughter has seven classes per day, and each of the academic classes has a minimum of 45-90 minutes of homework per night. She averaged 3-5 hours of homework. Students are strongly encouraged to take massive amounts of AP classes and are told repeatedly how vital it is that they have their life planned out. I've see this high stress tend build over the years, and I don't like what I see it doing to the kids.”
The truth is - while this age can be full of rewarding experiences like walking to the farmers market and browsing second-hand dresses, cuddling on the couch watching old TV series, having a terrific chat over coffee, and realizing that they are fun people who you’d be proud to call your friends…
...it’s also one of the most stressful stages in their high school career. In fact according to a study by Positive Parenting Solutions, an overwhelming 56% of teens said that school is their biggest stressor, the next closest stressor didn’t even garner half the votes.
And stress results in teens acting out, getting into trouble, falling into depression, refusing to attend school, and even resorting to self-harm.
They’re still good kids, just volatile and overwhelmed.
And you have probably tried seemingly everything to alleviate the stress.
Walking on eggshells.
Taking things away.
Grounding them.
Driving them to school and trying to force them out of the car.
But nothing seems to work.
And other parents say to you, “It’s 100% normal. It sucks, but it is what it is.”
But it doesn’t have to be that way…
