You are concerned that they are getting too caught up in things that don’t matter
You know how difficult it is to deal with their over focus on social media but you’re not sure what to do. You are concerned for impacting your relationship any further as all you really want is to understand your teen and to feel close. You want your teen to know that they are supported and have guidance but you aren’t quite sure how to go about it.
No one could have predicted how difficult the teenage years would be. They are so caught up with their friends and figuring out fitting in that they don’t realize how special they really are.
As a parent you are made to constantly feel like you don’t get it no matter how hard you try. You are feeling overwhelmed and frankly, sometimes feel like throwing the towel. But, you know you can’t. And deep down, you know you don’t want to. All you really want is to be able to help your teen and feel close to them again. You want them to smile, share with you, and most importantly you want them to be happy.
Simi Psychological Group is here to help….
We recognize this undeniable need for parents to get the support they need to help their teens. And we believe that parents also need to know that they are not alone in this venture.
