What defines adolescence? High school dances, zits, break-ups, and unfortunately, intense emotions are all part of this time of life. Everything feels so important as a teenager. Your son or daughter’s body is changing; they are morphing from a child into an adult. This is often an emotionally painful process. How many of us would want to return to high school? The peer pressure, body issues, popularity problems; all of these things make the time incredibly difficult for many teens. If your teenager seems to be having trouble dealing with all of these changes, enlisting the help of a Thriveworks Richmond counselor is a wise choice. We will be able to talk to your teen in a unique way from that of the parent. We can help create open and honest communication in your home.
Teens face many choices in life. They are in the process of defining who they will become, both now and in the future. They are thinking about college, their career, and also their friends and their amount of freedom. All of these things can cause tension in the home. The slammed doors and screaming matches may be nearly more than you can bear. We understand, and can help you create a more peaceful family life, with respect to the changes and choices that your teenager is facing.
