20 tips for parents trying to help their teens survive quarantining with the family
You or your teen may become fixated on following what’s being said, written, and posted. That makes sense—you are trying to understand the nature of this terrible situation and get a sense of when and how it will end. Talk together about what’s healthy in terms of news consumption, including which sources might be trustworthy, and which should be avoided or kept to a minimum, as well as how often during the day it’s healthy to check for news.
Talk together about what else your family can do, either now or for the future, to help with survival and recovery. Maybe you can give to local food banks. Maybe you can work on a creative project to give to a seniors home after this is all over. Maybe you can contribute encouraging and trustworthy posts to social media. Maybe you can reach out via phone, Skype, or social media to friends and family who are feeling isolated.
Your teenager needs you now more than ever. Do what you can to be kind, patient, and loving, and to model good coping skills. That means taking good care of yourself, being patient with yourself as you think together about the best way through this stressful time for your family.
