Vital Strategies Plus CBT Worksheets to Help Teens Manage Their Emotions and Overcome Teen Stressors.If you are a parent, then you know that teens these days have it far harder than you did.Statistics indicate that Americans aged 15 to 29 are the most stressed in the nation.Moreover, anxiety and depression affect around 70% of teens.Teens also struggle with specific skills such as anger management, starting and maintaining a conversation, and resolving conflicts peacefully.Some may have difficulties making social connections or meeting academic goals.“It’s always been that way,” you may say. Indeed, the brain doesn’t fully mature until you reach your mid-20s, which makes it harder to control impulses. This has always been the case.What has changed, however, is the barrage of online misinformation and pressure teens now face from social media and online use.Their idols are influencers, many of whom espouse shallow values and unrealistic expectations.Some have little interest in anything other than having “the perfect body,” designer clothes and jewelry, or fancy cars.Yet influencers represent a tiny minority of teens.Those wishing to succeed have a dramatically higher chance of doing so if they hone key emotional regulation and emotional intelligence skills—including expressing oneself assertively, time management, and conflict resolution.As a parent, you want to encourage your kids to have goals, without overwhelming them.You want to lend them a helping hand, but don’t know where to start. This practical, dynamic guide, featuring a plethora of CBT exercises, is here to help.Its aim is to allow your teen to work on their issues in their own time and at their own pace, in the comfort of their own home and without any external pressure. Within its pages they will discover:Practical, purposeful CBT exercises that create a positive feedback loop your teen can rely on when the going gets tough.How to challenge negative thoughts and stop cognitive distortions from leading them to poor decisions that are not based on evidence.How to reframe negative beliefs into positive ones, so they can boost their self-esteem and adopt a positive growth mindset.Fun behavioral experiments that will challenge them to exit their safety zone to get the results they desire.Powerful exercises for nipping stress and anxiety in the bud.Scientifically proven strategies that will enable them to strive in social situations—and give them the initiative to make plans and invite other teens along.How to allow their anger to lead them in the direction of positive change, without losing their cool.Worksheets that will motivate them to embrace productive thoughtswhen they are feeling depressed or down in the dumpsAnd much more.In case you think this book comprises just exercises, think again! It also explains the issues your teen child might be facing, with science-backed research to explain issues like impulsivity, emotional control, and anger.By reading this information before tackling exercises, your teen will understand that there are reasons behind their emotions. They are certainly not the only ones with hurdles to overcome.With the strategies contained in this book, however, they can overcome every obstacle and set goals for personal and academic success.If your teen is ready to discover how CBT can help them feel more positive and be more productive, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.
