From anxiety to calm–discover how to get your teen to grow into a confident and independent adult!

According to the National Institute of Health, nearly one in three of all adolescents ages 13 to 18 experience an anxiety disorder. And this number is constantly rising.

With high expectations and pressure to succeed in a world that feels scary and unknown, teens struggle to find their place and identity.

This guide will show you how you can help your teen manage their anxiety and prepare them to navigate life with confidence.

Here is just a small fraction of what you will discover inside:

• Characteristics and types of anxiety so you recognize the symptoms early on–don’t let their anxiety interfere with their lives.
• Effective coping skills to help them function better despite their anxiety–from yoga and meditation to deep breathing and intentional movements.
• A teen nutrition guide packed with quick-fix healthy recipes–learn what they should eat so anxiety doesn’t eat at them.
• Ten tips to help them have better sleep and lower anxiety levels.
• Who to contact in case of a crisis–don’t fumble through the yellow pages when every minute wasted could be the difference between life or death.
• Over 15 proven CBT-based techniques and worksheets to help your teen get over their negative thoughts and learn useful skills such as goal setting and problem-solving.

And much more!

Life won’t get any easier for your teen as they grow up. And you won’t always be there to hold their hand through the difficult moments.

But they already have it in them to tackle any obstacle, including their anxiety–and this guide will empower them with the skills to do that.

If you want your teen to have a normal, anxiety-free life, then you need to listen to this audiobook.
