The teens are particularly disturbed because most often they feel that any new stress exposes some weakness in their personalities. Here, parents can act as role models and alsoi they can introduce them to some stress management activities, like meditation, deep breathing, etc. I particularly liked your suggestion on accepting the fact that there are bound to be some stresses in life all the time.

]]> Comment on Communicating with your Teen by Charlotte http://www.academics-plus.com/blog/2008/02/06/communicating-with-your-teen/#comment-197 Charlotte Thu, 07 Feb 2008 12:28:00 +0000 http://www.academics-plus.com/blog/2008/02/06/communicating-with-your-teen/#comment-197 I can not agree more. At http://bigwhitewall.com we see a large number of teens and young adults expressing their concerns or frustrations about their relationship with their parents or parent. In some circumstances the relationship is so poor that the teen is considering something quite serious. Have a look at this brick http://www.bigwhitewall.com/walls/brick/2187/ Most importantly, parents need to remember that they are the grown ups - long after the child has 'grown up'. If there is an olive branch to be held out, more often than not, it should be up to the parents to do so. I can not agree more.

]]> Comment on Cultivate Successful SAT Behavior Practices by Academics Plus http://www.academics-plus.com/blog/2007/11/30/cultivate-successful-sat-behavior-practices/#comment-139 Academics Plus Mon, 03 Dec 2007 18:50:41 +0000 http://www.academics-plus.com/blog/2007/11/30/cultivate-successful-sat-behavior-practices/#comment-139 Absolutely! Granted, some students are more amenable than others, but we've found that the vast majority of students we work with in our center are willing to participate in brief breathing and meditative exercises. Our hope is that the work we do with students in our center, even if only for a few minutes during each session, will become the building block for more extensive and more regular mindful practices. We are also really excited about all the media attention meditation has been receiving lately; hopefully, continued discussion/education about the benefits of meditation and breathing exercises will further enhance the likelihood of students engaging in these practices. Thank you for your thoughtful question! Absolutely!
