At the last PFLASA meeting, there was a discussion about student stress and anxiety, especially since returning from winter break. While anxiety is often not a pleasant emotion, it is most certainly a normal emotion which serves a purpose. Here are some resources that can help us support our teens to learn life skills to manage their anxiety. Remember, anxiety itself is normal and anxiety disorders are treatable.
1. Does Anxiety Serve a Purpose?
2. Tons of Free Resources for Executive Functioning Ideas
3. Managing the Anxiety Waves and Addressing Anxiety in Yourself and Your Student (both presentations)
