Self-help techniques for teens
If a teenager is suffering with feelings of anxiety, there are a few easy things they can do to help themselves.
Find a quiet place to sit for 10 minutes each day and focus on their thoughts and feelings.
Take deep, regular breaths and wait for the anxiety to pass.
Tense up and then relax the muscles in their hands, shoulders, neck and face.
The more they weather the anxiety attacks, the easier it will get.
