The Rosa Banks Mantras
Reshape your world together
Sometimes family life needs to change for a while.
Why it mattersWhen a teenager becomes overwhelmed, the family's world can suddenly become much smaller. Social events may stop. Holidays may change. School may become impossible for a time.
Rather than spending all your energy trying to force life back to how it was, think creatively about how life can still be enjoyable. Watch films together. Walk the dog at quieter times. Order a takeaway and have a games night. Find new routines that work for the family you have today.
The takeaway
Acceptance does not mean giving up. It means making room for joy while your child continues to grow.
