• Find a few ways you can support and encourage your teen to take breaks (from schoolwork, housework, or other activities they may be doing) to do things they enjoy. If your teens feel frustrated, work with them to brainstorm solutions to problems. Try not to take over and tell them what to do.
• Be honest and transparent with your teen: you can let them know that you are experiencing extra stress as well. Showing them how you deal with your own difficult feelings can help them know their feelings are okay.
• Make time in your day to do the things that help you cope with and manage stress. Whether your day is busy or free, we know that finding time to look after yourself is essential for your wellbeing. Doing the things, you like or simply taking a few minutes off from your day can help you feel relaxed and re-energised.
• Teach children to accept failure, explain to children that failure means that you have tried, that means you have courage and can take risks. Failure doesn't mean "The End", it's just a speed breaker which you can cross by staying calm, positive and believing in yourself.
