Four things you can do to support your teen’s mental health

No of how well or poorly you and your adolescent get along, it is crucial to demonstrate your love and support for them, your ability to guide them through difficult situations, and your unfailing availability to them.

Here are four things to consider when asking your teen "how are you doing?" and demonstrating to them that you are always there for them.

1. Encourage them to share their feelings

Find ways to communicate with your teen. Find out about their day by asking them how it went and what they did. It can be by requesting that they assist you with a chore, like making supper, so you can talk to them about their day while you are working.
Remind them that you are always available to them and that you are interested in learning their thoughts and feelings. They could feel more at ease talking to you about their thoughts if you just said a few encouraging things. 

2. Take the time to support them

Establish new routines and attainable daily goals together. You might schedule your household duties around your academic obligations or make it a goal to do your homework before dinner.
Independence comes with adolescence! Give your teen as much time and space as they need to be alone. Growing up naturally involves having space needs.
Find a few strategies to assist and motivate your adolescent to take breaks from their work (whether it be homework, housework, or other projects they may be working on) to engage in activities they enjoy. If your adolescent is feeling frustrated, brainstorm some issues with them. Avoid taking charge and giving them instructions.

3. Work through conflict together

Try to resolve disputes amicably while listening to your adolescent's opinions. Keep in mind that stress is common.
Never talk about a problem when you're upset. You may talk to your teen about it later. Just get out of there, take a deep breath, and relax.
Abstain from power struggles. Teenagers may be finding it difficult to maintain control at the moment since the world seems uncertain and their alternatives seem limited. Instead of attempting to fight back or overwhelm them in a dangerous situation, try to empathise with their urge to exert control.

Be honest and straightforward with your teen; you can let them know that you are experiencing more stress as well. Showing children how you deal with your own challenging feelings might help them know their feelings are okay.
When there is a dispute, take some time to deliberate about how you and your teen can settle it. You can discuss these reflections with your teen so they can see how you are processing ideas.
