Kids may not know what to do or where to turn when their mental health is affecting them. This book provides easy strategies through which to help yourself. Most of the tools can be utilized in the moment, so dig in!
Most teenagers mentally abuse themselves, and it's not their fault.
Social media has zapped their attention spans and distorted their self-image...
Peer pressure puts the weight of the world on their young shoulders...
And the constant need to excel leaves them in a permanent state of not feeling good enough, for anyone or anything.
The end result?
A whirlwind of emotions that even the most seasoned Buddhist monk would struggle to keep in check. Their own mind feels like hell on earth.
Then they lash out, make poor choices, skip school, get in with the wrong crowd, become obsessed with social media and video games, and generally make poor decisions that aren't conducive to a life of happiness.
The trouble is, if they don't learn how to emotionally regulate, they're blown from happy place to sad place, like a feather in the wind.
But all of this is a choice.
Because with a little help from you, some guidance from this workbook, and a smidge of effort from them, they can reach their full potential.
