In a world where anxiety is high for a wide range of reasons, it is not just adults who feel the pinch. Children,
especially adolescents, are struggling with fears that can have a major
impact on many facets of their lives, academic achievement and
relationships with physical and mental health. Studies have shown that teenagers experience fear even after the threat has been removed from their environment. Therefore, it is important to help them cope with their fears in a healthy way to overcome them successfully.
Here's where to start:
1. Show understanding
The best way to start helping your teen to cope with her fears is to understand how she feels. Give them an example that they can relate to this shows how you must deal with fear to lose fear. For example, if a teenager is afraid of water that wants to spend time with his friends in the pool, he must face fear and enter the water. This will help you realize that it is safe to get into the water. You will need to practice swimming to make you feel less anxious about the water.
To show that you truly understand their fears, tell them about one of your own fears for those you have worked and overcome. Explain that it takes time and starts small steps to slowly reduce your anxiety.
2. List your fears
Sometimes teenagers have a number of possibly related fears. Working with them or if they prefer to work alone, allow them to list everything they fear. Once you have a complete list, group the fears into categories. They may be afraid of a number of social situations, for example, by saying "hello" to a classmate or teacher, asking the class to ask a question or even to make new friends.
3. Exhibition
Once you have a complete list and categories, start working through them one at a time, starting slowly. With the examples above, start by encouraging them to simply say "hello". Once you begin to feel less anxious about this fear, go to the next. It is important that you stay patient with them and encourage them gently. If your teen is afraid to learn to drive, start by letting them sit in the driver's seat with the engine running. Progress to let them advance along a deserted road or parking. Once you are able to move comfortably, let them drive on calmer roads and move slowly towards the busiest traffic.
4. Definition of objectives
When progress is made in all areas, setting goals is always important. Let your child think of something they would really like, whether it's a new outfit, a new game show or a trip to their favorite restaurant.
