When your teen’s mood swings match the changing weather
As days slowly get longer, many teenagers feel even more restless and unfocused than in winter. School demands stay high, but the ability to sit still and concentrate seems to drop. Parents often see more sarcasm, more late nights and more unfinished tasks. During in‑person sessions we explore how stress about grades, friendships and body image shows up in mood swings and arguments at home. Teens learn to track what is happening in their body before they snap or shut down, so they can experiment with different ways of coping. We also talk about social media and how constant comparison can quietly poison self‑esteem. Parents receive guidance on how to hold limits without turning every conversation into a power struggle. If your household feels like it is constantly reacting to your teen’s emotional weather, therapy can offer a more stable place to understand and navigate these changes.
