Dear Teenagers
It’s easy to compare oneself, often unfavorably, to one’s siblings. And even when teens don’t draw such comparisons, the adults around them sometimes do. In this two-minute video, Dr. Lisa Damour talks with10to20s about how she learned to resist the temptation to measure herself against others. You can show this Dear Teenagers video to your teen, watch it together, or use it for guidance on helping 10to20s manage the impulse to compare themselves to their siblings.
The advice provided here by Dr. Damour and the resources shared by her AI-powered librarian, Rosalie, will not and do not constitute - or serve as a substitute for - professional psychological treatment, therapy, or other types of professional advice or intervention. If you have concerns about your child’s well-being, consult a physician or mental health professional.
