Depression & Anxiety
Being the parent of a troubled teen is a never-ending sea of worry and distress. The thought of a child wanting to hurt themselves is very hard for any parent to understand. Across the nation, teens are committing acts of self-harm every day. As a concerned parent, of course you need to know why this is happening and how you can prevent it from even entering your teen's mind.
It's hard to imagine that a tween (a child between the age of 9 to 12) who is supposed to be happy and enjoy their childhood can be depressed and feel overcome by burdens and pressures. Parents many years ago were not faced with quite the same trials and tribulations when they were kids that kids are confronted with today.
