Hi Parents!
This episode is all about a topic that hits close to home during these colder months: the winter blues and how they affect teen anxiety and mood. If you’ve noticed your teen being more irritable, withdrawn, or just not quite themselves lately, the season might be playing a bigger role than you think. I’m here to help you understand what’s going on and provide you with tools to make this time of year smoother for both of you.
We’ll take a closer look at how shorter days, reduced sunlight, and colder weather can affect your teen’s mental health, particularly if they’re already dealing with anxiety. I’ll break down the science behind the winter blues so you can gain a clearer picture of what your teen might be going through.
Plus, I’ll share practical, easy-to-implement strategies to support your teen. From small changes to increase exposure to natural light to engaging activities that can lift their spirits, these tips are designed to help your teen feel more grounded and connected, even on the gloomiest days.
Tune in to discover how you can support your teen through this season with confidence while building a deeper connection along the way. Let’s make this winter a little brighter together!
Big hugs,
Monica Crnogorac
