How Can You Support Your Teenager? - with Clinical Psychologist Dr Francesca Sawer
HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT YOUR TEENAGER?
Dr Francesca Sawer, Clinical Psychologist, kindly joins Mind Friend today to talk about supporting teenagers.
If your teenager doesn’t want to talk, this is often a normal stage of their development and a sign that they are gaining more independence away from the family and a sense of their own identity.
Dr Francesca outlines that support can come many different forms, beyond talking. What’s most important is providing a sense of safety, which means that teenagers know that parents will be there for them no matter what. This way teenagers can trust that you’ll accept them, help them navigate tricky situations and problem-solve with them should they ever need it.
