Buckley, 49, learned the social media slang for this sudden defiance, which is called “soiling the nest,” and said she felt that was happening with him. “It may look like picking fights with parents, talking back, leaving messes, and generally putting stress on their interpersonal relationships with their parents,” Galanti said. For teens graduating high school, the main psychological goal is to “develop and consolidate their own identities,” Galanti said. Creating this space between themselves and their parents makes the transition to this new independence phase easier for some teens, Galanti said. Florida-based writer Terry Ward lives in Tampa with her two young children, who are still squarely ensconced in the nest.

CNN —Maybe a hug from a parent no longer solves problems for a teen as it did in their childhood. But when it comes to teenage mental health, adults can do a lot to help, according to new data. The survey found that 1 in 6 parents have a hard time comforting and communicating with their teen. ridvan_celik/E+/Getty ImagesThe worsening mental health and rising stakes of teens often puts parents in a difficult place. That scenario is why it’s important for parents and caregivers to have their own mental health resources, said Dr. Whitney Trotter, a doctor of nursing practice, psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner and registered dietitian in Austin, Texas.

☆ Teens feel less emotional support than their parents think they do, new report shows

CNN —As a youth mental health crisis persists in the US, a new report highlights a significant gap between the level of support that teenagers feel and the amount that parents think their children have. Parents responded to survey questions from trained interviewers, while children responded to survey questions online after their parents gave approval. “This suggests a systematic bias where parents consistently report higher levels of social and emotional support compared with their teenager’s perception, and in doing so may underestimate their teenager’s perceived need for social and emotional support,” the study authors wrote. And the new report shows that teens who did not feel that they always or usually had the support they need were significantly more likely to report a number of poor health effects than those who did feel supported. Two-thirds of teens who did not feel supported reported poor sleep, compared with about a third of those who did feel supported.

☆ How 'Inside Out 2' shows us anxiety 'can be motivating'—'It's there to keep us on our toes,' psychologist says

Amy Poehler and Maya Hawke voice Joy and Anxiety, respectively, in Disney and Pixar's "Inside Out 2." One of the standout additions is Anxiety, a quirky orange character voiced by Maya Hawke. 'The way psychologists see anxiety is as a protective emotion'Originally, the character was animated to look more like a "villain," Damour says. "Irrational anxiety is when you overestimate the threat and underestimate your ability to do anything about it," Damour says. Damour hopes "Inside Out 2" communicates that anxiety can be a tool as much as it can be a nuisance.

☆ 'Inside Out 2' adds ennui to its cast of emotions: How the feeling affects Gen Z workers, from a psychologist who worked on the film

Last weekend, "Inside Out 2" scored the second biggest box office release for any animated movie. In it, Riley Anderson, a 13-year-old girl, grapples with the discomfort of becoming a teenager. Animated as a moody, purple being with bangs, it is the feeling of being both tired and bored. Lisa Damour, a psychologist who worked on "Inside Out 2," says ennui is a coping mechanism for teens. While this emotion is more consuming as a teenager, it can play a role in the lives of young adults who are transitioning from school into the workforce.

☆ Where Are the Students?

“For almost two years, we told families that school can look different and that schoolwork could be accomplished in times outside of the traditional 8-to-3 day,” Elmer Roldan, who runs a dropout prevention group, told The Los Angeles Times. “The most fundamental thing for adults to understand is that avoidance feeds anxiety,” Damour told me. But the problem with giving in to that anxiety is that avoidance is highly reinforcing.” The more often students skip school, the harder it becomes to get back in the habit of going. And the rise in chronic absenteeism is indeed a sign that schools need help. One promising step would be to make teaching a more appealing job, Damour notes, in order to attract more great teachers.

☆ Teens should be trained before entering the world of social media, APA says
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Madeline Holcombe | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

“Social media is neither inherently harmful nor beneficial to our youth,” said Dr. Thema Bryant, the APA’s president. The recommendations emphasize that adolescents should have instruction in social media literacy and psychological development before joining social media as well as occasional training to bolster their knowledge as they go along, all to minimize potential harm. They also advise that social media use should be tailored to the child’s developmental stage — and monitored by adults in the case of younger children. But how do you convince a teenager to get on board with safer social media use? Teens are experiencing much of their social life on social media, and rather than shame it, we should collaborate with the younger generation, she said.
