Stress is unavoidable: it occurs any time we need to adapt to new conditions or navigate a change. Because teenagers are always growing and changing, stress is, inevitably, a near-constant in their lives. In this three-minute video, Dr. Lisa Damour explains to teens how stress can be growth-giving and how to keep it the healthy range.
You can show this Dear Teenagers video to your teen, watch it together, or use it for guidance on how to have a conversation with your 10to20 about how to manage stress. Looking for more? Parents can watch the Untangling Family Life video “10to20s and Stress” here.
