Closing one school year before rushing into the next
Early June can feel strange for teenagers: the formal pressure is easing, yet their nervous system is still braced for the next demand. Some are already being asked to think about next year’s choices while they have barely processed this one. In online therapy we slow this transition down so the young person can notice what they are proud of and what still hurts. We talk about friendships that ended, subjects that became unexpectedly important and moments of quiet courage that no one else saw. Together we explore what they want to take with them into the next year and what they would rather leave behind. Parents are invited to listen to this reflection without immediately jumping into advice mode. When teens feel heard in this in‑between time, they are more likely to engage in planning the future. If your child seems both relieved and strangely uneasy now that the pressure is lower, an online session can help make sense of this mix.
