How many times do I hear “they are just attention seeking”. Teenagers act out because they have an emotional need that is not being met. They may not know how to ask for help or even what that need is. But pay them attention. Lean in. Find a way to connect. Coffee. Shopping. A walk. Going to the gym together. Make a tik tok. Play pool or darts. Do skincare together . Watch their YouTube faves. Take a drive. Play Xbox. Watch a film. Connection doesn’t have to be big talking.
