The Guardian published a text by doctor Rangan Chatterjee on how parents can help their children learn to effectively deal with stress and daily challenges modern life entails. This is especially important in the light of rising number of young people with mental health problems. “The pressures young people face range from school stress, bullying and worries about job and housing prospects, to concerns around body image,” says Emma Saddleton, helpline manager at the charity YoungMinds. According to Dr. Chatterjee “while we (parents) may not be able to remove all these challenges, we can pass on skills to help young people cope with stress and adversity.” In his piece Dr. Chatterjee explored 6 ways/activities that can be useful for the purpose from having one-on-one time with a child, giving sleep a chance, spending time outside exercising, teaching child delayed gratification, to eating the alphabet and modeling gratitude.
