How to “survive” the teenage years (without too much damage)

​

• Just "keep swimming!” - Keep them alive until 25!

• Choose your responses

• Find support network and share experiences / soundboard

• Focus on end goal (for them to be happy, balanced adults)

• Be there, (although you might feel to abdicate and give up)

• Love them (remember, you don’t have to like them)

• NEVER ever give up on them

• Believe that they will pull through!
