When your teen is anxious, saying “Calm down” almost never helps—because they can’t yet.

Their brain is in survival mode, not logic mode. 🧠💥

Try one of these simple swaps instead.

Each one helps your teen feel seen, safe, and supported—and that’s what actually brings calm. 💛

So you ask who should join my free group to learn about how to parent and anxious and OCD teen? Everybody!

Especially if this is you:

You have an anxious teen who has two levels: spicy or withdrawn. You feel like you have to walk on eggshells all the time and it’s affecting the entire household.

You feel emotionally exhausted and know your teen is struggling, but don’t know what to do or say to be helpful. You worry about your teen being able to be successful in the future.

You find yourself yelling about homework and chores, then feel guilty because you worry you are pushing too hard, causing more anxiety in your teen.

You feel guilt and regret over not recognizing the struggles sooner or you have tried to send your teen to therapy, but they haven’t seen much improvement.

“You make everything worse!” “Get out of my room!”

Teens with anxiety and OCD get flooded with emotions and blurt out things they don’t mean.

It hurts. We do EVERYTHING for our kids.

But hear me out…IT’S NOT PERSONAL.

Emotions are high and the thinking part of the brain is offline.

When you take your teen’s reactions personally, it makes you and them feel worse and can escalate the conflict.

Try this instead:
✅ Take a deep breath.
✅ Tell yourself the following:

-“This is anxiety talking, not my child rejecting me.”
-“This isn’t about me”
-“Be the anchor and stay calm. You can handle this.”

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual.

Every child has unique challenges and needs, even without anxiety.

Add anxiety to the already intense emotions and puberty?

YIKES. You may feel even more lost as a parent.

In fact, you feel like you sometimes make things worse.

You’ve tried doing your own research. Maybe used Dr. Google or Chat GPT to give you tips on what to say.

You’ve tried to get your teen to therapy. Maybe it’s helped some, but things are still a mess at home.
