Back to EpisodesHer Body Knows What to Do: Understanding how Stress Shows Up in Teen Girls
Description
If you find yourself asking your teen daughter how her day was, only to get a short or blank response, you're not alone.
This episode dives deep into what stress actually is and exploring why traditional talking doesn't help reduce that load. Stress is not just a mental burden but a physical effect that lives in the body, influencing her behaviour and responses.
Find out why girls are often discouraged from expressing the natural movements their bodies crave when stressed, what happens in their brain during moments of silence, and how mums can support their teen girls more effectively.
You'll learn practical strategies for parenting teen girls that go beyond words and tap into movement as regulation.
This episode offers valuable parenting support to strengthen the mother-daughter relationship and decode the behavioural messages your daughter is sending.
Tune in to discover what you can do this week to support her and yourself through these challenging yet important moments.
