It’s no secret that our teen years are some of the most tumultuous, confusing, and stressful times in our lives. Speaking “teen” is an art, but even if you are able to communicate with your teen, there are some things they might not tell you, or some they honestly don’t know how to say. If you notice the following signs, it might be time to consider a wellness coach to help usher your teen from those confusing adolescent years into adulthood.
Your teen is withdrawn-
You ask every day, “How was school?” and the answer is always, “Fine.” The more you try to relate, the more they pull away. Consider a wellness coach if communication is an issue. There might be something they can’t tell you, or, everything could be honestly “Fine”. Getting a second opinion, however, is always a good idea.
Your teen is acting out-
Your child has gone from normal to a wild child. You’re all of a sudden getting calls from the school principal or worse, you’re seeing the behaviours at home. A wellness coach will help diminish the behaviours, get to the root of the problem, and create actionable steps to address the issue.
Your teen is considering life after high school-
Considering the services of a wellness coach as a proactive step is an intelligent move that will help inspire and usher your teen into adulthood. A wellness coach not only addresses negative behaviours and outlooks but also assesses your abilities and helps you grow. If your teen is approaching adulthood, a wellness coach will help ensure that they are on the right path.
Remember that a wellness coach focusses on creating a lifestyle and outlook that is rewarding for you and those you love. If your teen is giving you the signs, don’t hesitate to provide the help they need.
