Talking To Teens: Expert Tips for Parenting Teenagers
Kids & Family
Today’s teens are at risk of major stress overload. On top of managing their grades and competing for spots at exclusive universities, they’re battling the onslaught of a recession and a world battered by a pandemic. They’ve also got to navigate a complicated digital landscape! With phone notifications going off every five minutes demanding their attention, it’s no wonder teens are chronically stressed out.

Should they quit their extracurriculars to make more time for relaxation? What could possibly give kids the stress relief they need?
