Have you heard of a 'Coming of Age Team' for your teenager? As your teen navigates the journey into becoming an adult, they may have many questions or need support and guidance. To help them through this transition, Uju Asika recommends setting up a support team for your child, a team of trusted people who can share their wisdom and whom your child can turn to with their questions. These could be family friends, sports coaches, teachers, community elders - anyone who you trust and can rely on. 🫱🏼🫲🏿 Who would you invite to be part of this team? Uju discusses this further in our 3 minute video 'Building A Support Network for Your Teen' which can be viewed by clicking the link in the comments below 👇🏽 #Teen #Teenager #ComingOfAge #Support

🏫 Let's Talk About School Phobia! ❗ It's clear that traditional reward systems may not always be the most effective approach. As we discussed, dangling a big reward like a new Xbox may seem enticing, but it's essential to consider the impact on the child's anxiety levels and their perception of school as an anxiety-provoking environment. 🔎 Instead of focusing solely on motivating children to attend school, let's adopt a different perspective. Let's put on our detective hats and delve deeper into understanding the underlying reasons why a child may be struggling with school attendance, adopt a different perspective, incorporating Dr. Ross Green's collaborative and proactive solutions. 🤝 By addressing these root causes and providing appropriate support, we can help children overcome their school-related anxieties and thrive academically and emotionally. 💚 🎒 If you're interested in learning more about school phobia and effective strategies for supporting students, I invite you to reach out to me for further information. 📱 📧 Let's work together to create a positive and supportive school environment for all children. 📚💼 ihays@centerforwellnessnj.com #SchoolPhobia #mentalhealth #supportingstudents
