What mask do you wear, and what are you trying to keep hidden. We try and hide our vulnerability, our fears, our shame, and this is especially true if adolescents. They need help to figure out what’s underneath the mask, and as parents, we need to stay committed to the how are you doing? Can I help?

Adolescent development is complex, challenging and tricky. We often don`t expect some of the overwhelm, the tears, the silence because we are busy trying to parent love and connect. An adolescents world is complex so as parents you need to know how and when to help them regulate

We all get scared, and when this happens, we want to hide quietly and keep everything in or we want to keep prickles out so we get defensive. When this is happening for adolescents, they often don`t have the words to explain what is going on as they simply don`t know. They need support to uncurl and unravel what feels overwhelming for them, that`s our job to encourage and support 😊

What do adolescents want everything and nothing, and that’s the complexity of it for a long time. They are unsure, they change their mind, they panic, they stress ,they avoid! Nothing is straightforward, so we need to help them negotiate, focus, calm.. these are all skills that need development in the limbic brain 🧠🙄

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of this especially when we get into conflict with adolescents. Adolescents and adults are on opposite sides of the spectrum of living … so it can be hard to understand each other perspective.

My amazing brain. We need to help our brain to become regulated, kind, and interesting. We do this by realising it needs to think and feel. Too much thinking puts you in under huge pressure, and it ends up castrophising, so help it feel and think.

Riverdance at its best… 80’s children! 80’s kids entertained in the kitchen for a wide variety of aunts and uncles.. singing to the joy, singing, or dancing was not an option.🤣 Despite the interesting hair and dress code, my mother genuinely believed I could dance and sing…. Sadly, she was quite mistaken. Sometimes it’s important to show adolescents that we can get over challenging and embarrassing situations and eventually find the gentle humour to have a giggle at our appearance. We live in a world consumed by appearance, and so much pressure seems to be on adolescents to comply with a look or a thing. It’s all temporary.

This week is Irish Sign Language Awareness week. Here are some tips what you can do to help a deaf or hard of hearing person hear.
People with hearing ability to take their time to figure out how to communicate without saying
"Never mind", "Tell you later" are not the nicest things to say to a deaf person. Being able to communicate with a deaf or hard of hearing person doesn`t need to be difficult.
What you can do to help 👇
*Basic gestures means a lot.
*Facing a person who is deaf or hard of hearing.
*Do not turn your back.
*Ensure that the person understands you clearly, you may have to repeat many, many times, be patient.
*Don`t ever cover your mouth this limits the ability to lip read and sometimes it come across passive it`s a deflating feeling.
*If you can`t use sign language use a phone to type out what you want to communicate, this boosts confidence like "wow this person wants to chat."
*Remember it takes longer for deaf, hard of hearing to process information lip reading can be exhausting.
*Finally if you are socialising with a deaf or hard of hearing person ensure that they know what you are talking about and let them know when a conversation has taken a different route it helps to know that they are too included in a conversation.

How does the brain work, in particular the neurodiverse brain. If you as a parent or your adolescent has a neurodiverse brain, take time to figure out how it works. Processing takes time, so patience is key.

When we parent, we nurture and nurture it is about small simple steps. Sometimes, looking after teens is like looking after your favourite plant. We want it to grow and be healthy, and we therefore need to provide the right environment for that to happen. Sticking to simple steps helps growth. 🌾🌿

An act of kindness to others has been scientifically proved to release endorphins in our brain… prompting feelings of happiness and well-being . When we help adolescents, it helps them and you!

Emotions are temporary… that’s hard to accept when emotions feel so difficult. Our mind races to escape, and we often end up panicking more.

I think it is important to highlight last night’s programme Let’s talk about Sex with @richiesadlier Richie Saidlier and the amazing students took part in an open, honest and frank conversations that covered a wide area that needed to be talked about and addressed.
The programme highlighted the huge need for change so that parents and adolescents can be better supported.
St. Jarlaths College Tuam has actively been providing support to students in all aspects of their development and wellbeing. As an Adolescent Psychotherapist, I am delighted to be a facilitator on the Life Space Programme for the last 5 years in the school in which the students get a voice in all aspects of their Life Space. The school has openly and enthusiastically embraced many different facilitators to deal with many of the issues that were raised last night.
Following last night’s programme it’s important to be open and honest in having conversations with adolescents that open up concerns, curiosity, and fears around all issues relating to Adolescents important life space.
If you are concerned about any of the issues that were raised in last night`s episode please feel free to contact me on adolessence1@gmail.com.

I have had two wonderful experiences this week as a parent and adult using two different services where I offered feedback. I was met with a professionalism, courtesy, and politeness that I was simply delighted about. Often, as adults and Adolessence it’s hard to find your voice to say I need, I want, I’m not sure, I didn’t like. Adolescents especially tend to freeze, and the outcome is they hide or they end up being completely overwhelmed and screaming. If you can model giving feedback, they will see that’s it’s important to find their voice.

Look for some joy… we sometimes need to find it to remind ourselves how to feel it, how to model it. It’s a great feeling when you get it 😆
