Powerful Tips to Raise a Resilient Teenager

This Post: Powerful Tips to Raise a Resilient Teenager

Written by: Natalie Maximets, CTC

Wouldn’t it be great if you could help your teen handle life’s adversities with a certain mental toughness? Like when they failed a test they studied hard for, didn’t make the team, or got passed over for an internship they desperately wanted, they’d inherently grab hold of an inner strength to help them view those situations not as “failures,” but rather as minor setbacks in life.

Well… you can. It’s called resilience.

Being a teenager is hard. That’s why they need all the help they can get to get through this tumultuous time in their lives. The good news is, you can help your teen navigate the rough waters of adolescence by empowering them with a healthy dose of resilience. Not only will resilience help them cope with everyday stress, it will also help prepare them for life as an adult. Here are a few powerful tips to raise a resilient teenager.

Teach Them to Bounce Back When Life Gets Hard

 

What Does Having Resilience Mean?

From a clinical perspective, resilience is having the ability to maintain a stable level of psychological and physical activity in stressful situations. It’s about having the capacity to recover, bounce back and draw from a certain “toughness” to endure life’s hard knocks. 

In our teen’s world, it might mean brushing themselves off, trying again and having the mental strength to recover and move forward despite a huge blow like when they didn’t get the grade they hoped for, get the part in the school play, or when they get rejected by a girl or guy they asked out. 

Is Resilience Something You’re Born With or Taught?

The ability to endure adversity or difficult situations and exhibit resilience depends on several factors. Experts agree that genetics, personality traits, upbringing, and social environment all come into play. However, research has shown that genetics plays a very small role. In fact, for the most part, resilience is something you have to acquire.

According to a quote by Karestan Koenen, professor of psychiatric epidemiology at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in the New York Times, “Think of resilience as a set of skills that can be, and often is, learned. Part of the skill-building comes from exposure to difficult (but manageable) experiences.” In other words, those tough times your teen might be experiencing are helping them build invisible armor.

What Does Resilience Look Like?

What does your teen’s resilience look like in action? If your teen is exhibiting any of these behaviors, you should be proud of them – it means they’re building resilience!

  • Viewing failures not as a finality, but rather as opportunities to learn from them and, in many instances, to try again.
  • Exhibiting a realistic view of the world – life isn’t always fair or perfect. 
  • Making the most of a difficult situation.
  • Showing optimism in the face of challenges.
  • Coping with and managing stress in a healthy, productive manner.
  • Stomping out negative self-talk and/or feelings and replacing them with positive, uplifting thoughts.
  • Adapting to changes in their life. Being flexible when life throws them curveballs.
  • Showing signs of self-confidence.
  • Regulating impulsive behavior. 
  • Having the ability to laugh at themselves and their imperfections.
  • Realizing that there is no such thing as perfection.
  • Developing a growth mindset (i.e. Instead of: “I can’t get this right because I’m stupid. They say: ” With enough hard work I can become better or smarter.”)
  • Focusing on things they can change as opposed to dwelling on things they can’t. Problem-solving.

Why Is Resilience So Important for Teens?

We all know the road to adulthood is oftentimes bumpy. Teenagers not only go through immense physical and emotional changes, but life tosses them plenty of challenges along the way – getting through middle and high school, managing the social scene with all its ups and downs, academic pressure, big decisions about school, life and their future. It’s all very overwhelming and exhausting for teens. 

To help your teen, you need to help them gain character strength and an “I can bounce back” attitude to enable them to recover when life knocks them down. 

Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, MD, (pediatrician at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia) adopted the 7 Cs of resilience that can help kids and teens build resilience. According to Ginsburg, resilience is at the very heart of our teen’s well-being.

Our teens need to feel that they have some degree of control over their decisions, environment and their lives. When they feel as though they lack control, they’re far less likely to have the stamina to bounce back.
