Episode 8: When Your Teen Is Anxious and You Don’t Know What to Do
Manage episode 487195346 series 3661553
What do you do when your teen is anxious and you feel helpless?
In this heartfelt episode of The FOCUS Podcast, I sit down with my husband for a real and vulnerable conversation about parenting through anxiety. We talk honestly about what it’s like to watch your teen struggle and not know how to help, and the mistakes we’ve made along the way.
We share:
What anxiety actually looks like in teens (hint: it’s not always what you think)
Common parenting reactions that don’t help - and what to do instead
Personal stories from our own family
Three mindset shifts that will change how you show up for your anxious teen
Whether your teen is withdrawing, lashing out, or overwhelmed by everyday tasks, this episode offers encouragement, tools, and the reminder that you are not alone.
