26 Coping with stress Is there such a thing as a normal teenager? How does teenage brain development affect teenage behaviour? How can I help my teenager through times of stress and anxiety?
27 Good Mental Health : a definition The strength and capacity of our minds to grow and develop, to be able to overcome difficulties and challenges and to make the most of our abilities and opportunities Young Minds 2006
28 It is tough being a teenager Turmoil and confusion are necessary aspects of development in adolescence Adolescence is a transitional process, not a stage, with overlapping relationships and issues Physiological changes tend to precede psychological ones, teenagers can look more mature than they feel Parts of the brain associated with emotional reactions mature earlier than parts associated with executive functions
29 Normal adolescence Distancing self from parents Focus on emotional investment shifts from parents to peers Search for identity, integrity and worth who am I? Am I the same person I was yesterday? Disillusionment; awareness of loss of childhood protection, loss of belief in parental omnipotence, loss of boundaries Constant movement between mature and immature modes Establishing new boundaries; challenging authority, experimentation Emotional stress; loss of self confidence Need to be the same as, and different from, peers
30 Ways of coping Acting rather than reflecting is one way of getting rid of the pain/confusion/frustration replacing thought by action Testing and rejection of adults especially parents. What kind of parent do I have and how much do they care? Being in and functioning as part of groups Seeing self and others in polarised ways Experimentation: clothes, music etc.
31 Adolescent brain development Brain development continues up to the age of 20 There is a significant re-modelling of the brain in adolescence, particularly frontal lobes The frequency and intensity of experiences shapes this re-modelling
32 Emotional Functioning and the triune brain in adolescence The executive function of the brain controls and coordinates thoughts and behaviour, directs attention, plans future tasks, inhibits inappropriate behaviour and keeps more than one thing in the mind at once This is about stepping into someone else mental shoes and taking their perspective Adolescents are left with powerful emotional responses to social stimuli that they cannot easily regulate, contextualise, plan for or inhibit. Self restraint in the face of intense emotional experience is therefore less than robust in teenagers and risk taking behaviour is common
33 Resilience in teenage children resilient children can resist adversity, cope with uncertainty and recover more successfully from traumatic events or episodes Newman 2002
34 Resilience in adolescents in more likely if. Female Have a secure attachment experience Good communication skills, sociability Ability to visualise a positive future and believe they have some control in creating that future Humour Experience of success and achievement Capacity to reflect
35 How can parents foster resilience in their adolescent? At least one good parent-child relationship Affection Clear, firm, consistent discipline Support for education Absence of severe discord
36 5 learnable skills of resilience Emotional awareness ability to identify what you are feeling and manage feelings appropriately Impulse control tolerate ambiguity and not rush decision making Empathy read and understand other peoples emotions Self-efficacy confidence in your own problem solving abilities know your strengths and weaknesses Reaching out willingness to try things and view failure as part of life
