Therapy for Teens in Sioux Falls, SD
Does it feel like one day your child—who you thought you understood and could get through to—just woke up as a teenager, with stronger emotions than the toddler years and “end of the world” type thinking?
Parenting—and more importantly, connecting with—a teenager in today’s high-stress, social-media driven society can seem like an overwhelming task.
With advances in technology, raising a teenager today is not like it was when you were growing up, so you may feel like any support or guidance from your own parents, family members or mentors is outdated and irrelevant to the challenges you are facing with your teen today.
How Do You Get Through to Your Teenager When There Are So Many Other Influences?
You’ve put so much energy into helping your teen to succeed, but somehow it seems that you and your teen just aren’t connecting…like you aren’t even speaking the same language.
Is it time to consider therapy?
The answer to that question may be an astounding “YES!”
Since you’re a parent who cares, I know that I’m wasting my breath when I say “Don’t worry” because if you’re here, you’re worried. But I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t worry…this is all part of the process of growing up and is actually a sign of your teen following a developmentally appropriate trajectory in her life. This phase is one of those frustrating moments of parenthood—eerily similar to those independent toddler phases—in which you just want to help and she just needs to do it on her own.
It’s frustrating.
It’s anxiety-provoking.
And it’s all part of the process of growing up.
