If The Anxious Generation was the diagnosis, Calming Teenage Anxiety is the treatment plan.
Every teen deserves to feel safe, supported, and strong—and every parent deserves to know they’re not alone on the journey. Calming Teenage Anxiety is a gentle guide for parents who want to fully support their teens, walking beside them with empathy and confidence as they learn to navigate the stresses and challenges of daily life.
You’ll learn how to recognize different levels of anxiety, open up meaningful conversations, and create a calm, supportive space where your teen feels seen, heard, and understood. Through real-life stories, helpful strategies, and reflection exercises, Calming Teenage Anxiety empowers you to foster resilience, not just in your teen, but in yourself, too.
Caring for a teenager can feel like walking a tightrope — balancing love, understanding, and the pressures of a fast-moving modern world. With stress and anxiety reaching epidemic proportions in recent years, it’s no surprise that the modern youth has been dubbed “the anxious generation.” But now there’s hope… and help.
