When Parents Should Seek Support
Consider professional help when you notice:
-
Increased family conflict or communication breakdown
-
Ongoing emotional distress in a parent or child
-
Changes in school performance or social withdrawal
-
Concerns about substance use, self-harm, or safety
Seeking help is a sign of strength, care, and responsibility. Early support can prevent escalation and help families restore balance and connection.
Understanding Teenage Boys and Girls
-
Teenage boys often value autonomy and privacy. Encouraging open conversation and showing interest in their world helps build trust.
-
Teenage girls may struggle with self-esteem, peer pressure, and identity. Validation, structure, and supportive listening are key.
Our psychologists guide parents in understanding emotional and developmental needs across the teenage years.
