The saying that you’re only as happy as your unhappiest child may not be the healthiest perspective, but it is a reality for many. Anxiety is a huge part of the mental health of so many teens, and its effects can be felt throughout their and their family’s lives.
A professional homeopath will want to know about when your teen’s anxiety started, what brings it on and how it feels for them. No two people will experience anxiety in exactly the same way. For some, there’ll be stomach aches and migraines, for others, sleep will be affected, for more, their ability to focus at school will be impacted severely. A full homeopathic prescription will take full consideration of your teen’s experience of anxiety.
But homeopathy can be part of how you can help as a parent too, enabling you can support a professional’s homeopathic prescription and be an active part of your child’s recovery. Consider using flower essences to support your child. Australian Bush Flower essences work beautifully alongside traditional homeopathy and appropriate essences can be chosen quite simply.
The Bush Flower Essence called Emergency helps bring calm in the face of overwhelm. The essence called Focus is for precisely that for teens whose ability to concentrate is affected. A third essence is called Confid, and helps to enhance self-esteem and confidence.
I hope this may at least have given you some ideas, but please get in touch for further information.
