Stand up for Yourself
Last week I took my ten year old daughter to the cinema. The place was packed with teenagers in high holiday spirits. Just before the film started I felt something hard strike the back of my neck and then something else hit the top of my head.

When I was at school, there was a girl who always laughed and teased me when I put on make-up or talked about boys. These days I’m quite a confident person, but back then I was mortified. I never fought back and didn’t tell anyone about it at home or at school.

There’s something about talking in front of a crowd that is unsettling.

Keep talking to Your Teenager
It’s very easy to lose touch with your teenager.
When they start secondary school, there are suddenly whole areas of their life you don’t know about. Their independence should be encouraged. It’s a good thing they are learning to make decisions by themselves, think for themselves and take responsibility for their own life. The problem is this independence comes at a price.
“It’s the task of the teenager to fire their parents and then re-hire them years later, but as consultants rather than managers,” says Stuart Goldman, Director of Psychiatric Education at Children’s Hospital in Boston.

We all live with varying degrees of stress.
Anyone who works has experienced some form of stress – meeting deadlines, conflicts with colleagues, long hours, unreasonable expectations … the list is endless. The sheer relentlessness of working everyday is stressful in itself.
Relationships are the second biggest stress culprit. Any number of relationships can cause stress. Like the stress we cope with at work, relationship problems can seem like they’re always there, seeping into your thoughts during the day or keeping you awake at night. Stress is an insidious emotion, it worms its way into your life and you can feel like you have no control over it.
