As a parent coach, counsellor, or psychologist, are you finding it challenging to support parents who feel lost and frustrated by their teenager's behaviour?
Do you often wonder how to offer a solution that truly resonates with parents who come to you with a request to fix their teens and bring about meaningful change?
As a helping professional, you’ve likely encountered parents who are at their wit’s end overwhelmed by the messiness of their teen’s room, the unfinished homework, and the seemingly endless hours spent glued to screens.
They come to you not just seeking advice, but desperate for something that will actually work, something that will bring peace back into their homes and strengthen their connection with their child.
But the possibility is, despite your best efforts, it can sometimes feel like your guidance isn’t making the impact you hoped for, and the relationship between parent and teen remains strained.
What if there was a way to cut through the surface issues and address the deeper emotional challenges that are often at the root of these conflicts?
This is where Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), can make all the difference. By integrating EFT into your practice, you can equip parents with a powerful tool to manage their own emotions, communicate more effectively, and nurture a healthier relationship with their teenagers. And for the teens themselves, EFT offers a way to better understand and manage their emotions, helping to unravel the real reasons behind their behaviour.
Imagine being able to offer a solution that not only calms the storm but also establishes long-term emotional resilience and understanding. That’s the potential of EFT and it might just be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.
A friend of mine Dr. Kavita Yadav who is a Counselling Psychologist, Parenting Coach, and EFT Practitioner shared many insights on parent-teen bond in a recent seminar on our EFT Serve which you will read further.
The teenage years: A time of change and challenge
The teenage years are a time of significant change, not only for the teen but also for the parent. Teens go through rapid physical, emotional, and psychological changes while trying to figure out who they are.
This often leads to confusion, mood swings, and a strong desire for independence, which can feel challenging for parents.
Parents might find themselves facing more arguments, rebellion, or difficulty in communication, which can strain the relationship and lead to feelings of disconnection.
They must understand that these behaviours are a normal part of growing up, and how they respond can make all the difference.
During this phase, communication often becomes less frequent as teens seek more privacy. The clash between their desire for independence and their parents' need to guide them can create tension. Technology also plays a role in widening the gap, as teens and parents are often on different wavelengths. To bridge this disconnect, parents need to be flexible and open to new ways of engaging with their teens, especially in the digital age.
Additionally, the growing influence of peers can make teens value their friends' opinions more than their parents', further contributing to the sense of disconnection.
How is the role of parent-TEEN RELATIONSHIP evolving in today's time?
When working with your clients, it Is important to help them understand that parenting today is vastly different from what it used to be. Unlike before, when kids went through distinct stages of development, now childhood and teenage years overlap more.
The clear lines between childhood and the teenage years have blurred, with kids now facing emotional and hormonal changes much earlier. This early shift can lead to mood swings and outbursts, challenging both parents and kids.
Encourage your clients to be more flexible and attuned to these shifts, emphasising that their role as parents is evolving too. It’s not just about enforcing rules, it’s about being present, understanding, and adjusting their approach to meet their child’s needs at each stage of development.
By guiding your clients to be more mindful and responsive, they can build stronger, more supportive connections with their children, helping them navigate the unique challenges of growing up today.
Make a parent understand quality over quantity to connect meaningfully with a teen
Spending time with teenagers isn’t just about being around them a lot. It is also about making that time truly meaningful. Parents might think that simply being present is enough, but what counts is how engaged and connected they are during that time.
Teens want their parents to be fully present listening, understanding, and showing genuine interest. It's the quality of interactions that make a difference, not just the number of hours spent together.
How can understanding the inner child improve the parenting of teenagers?
The inner child, shaped by one’s childhood experiences and unmet needs, can deeply affect how a parent deals with their teenage kids. They might unconsciously try to provide what they missed out on or replicate the parenting styles they experienced, even if they don’t fit their child’s current needs.
Make your clients aware of their own inner child to help them avoid letting past experiences dictate their parenting. This helps them understand and address their teens’ unique challenges.
Understanding the teenage brain: A guide for parents and educators
The teenage brain is a marvel of transformation, undergoing major changes that shape behaviour, emotions, and decision-making. These years are marked by a unique mix of curiosity, emotional intensity, and the drive to discover one’s identity.
As a result, it affects how teens think, feel, and act. During these years, the part of the brain that helps with decision-making and impulse control i.e. the prefrontal cortex is still developing. This can lead to risky behaviour and difficulty with choices. At the same time, another part of the brain, the limbic system, is very active, making teens more emotional and driven by rewards.
Hormonal changes, changes in sleep patterns, and a strong need for peer approval all play a role. During this time, the brain is also pruning connections it doesn’t use and strengthening the ones it uses the most.
All these changes are part of growing up and can help you understand why teenagers sometimes act the way they do. By recognising these developmental shifts, parents and educators can offer better support and create a stronger connection with teens.
The urgent need for mental health support in teens
Teenagers today face pressing mental health challenges, with 50% of lifetime mental illnesses beginning by age 14 (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Alarming statistics reveal that 42% of teens experience persistent sadness or hopelessness (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention), and 22% have seriously considered suicide (American Psychological Association). Additionally, one in seven teenagers will face a mental disorder (World Health Organisation), while three in five teen girls report daily sadness for at least two weeks (The New York Times).
Social media use, which is high among U.S. teens, is linked to poorer mental health and less parental control over screen time (Gallup’s Familial and Adolescent Health Survey, 2023).
Strong, supportive parenting is crucial, as teens with warm, disciplined relationships with their parents have better mental health and long-term outcomes (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 2023). Investing in these relationships can reduce substance use and promote overall well-being, underscoring the need for early intervention and mindful parenting (1).
Understanding "Gen Z" in teen’s world
Teen: "You don’t understand, mom. For us, it’s not just about always using social media or being lost in gadgets.
Parent: "I get that, but it feels like you're always glued to your phone. Can't we just have a conversation without screens involved?"
Teen: "It's not just about the screens. It's how we communicate and connect. It’s how we stay in touch, share things, and show who we are. It’s a big part of our lives. It's different from what you’re used to, but it’s our normal."
The above conversation highlights a child’s identity as part of a generation shaped by the internet and social media. This label reflects their unique experiences and challenges, different from those of previous generations.
For parents, it’s crucial to appreciate that “Gen Z” encompasses a world where digital communication and online interactions play a central role. By being open to learning about and understanding their world, adults can bridge the generational gap and connect more meaningfully with their growing kids.
Supporting a child’s independence while maintaining a strong bond
1.
For children aged 6 to 12
Parents should encourage small choices, like picking out their clothes or choosing hobbies. This helps kids build confidence and feel responsible. When it comes to learning, parents should be supportive but allow the child to take the lead, inculcating curiosity and problem-solving skills.
2.
As teens hit 13 to 19
Parents need to focus on understanding and supporting their growing independence. Encourage open communication like listening actively, staying calm, and showing empathy. Spending quality time together strengthens emotional connections while giving teens the space to make their own decisions.
Effective communication is the cornerstone of this relationship, especially during the teenage years. Teens might not always want to talk, and when they do, it might not be on the parent's schedule.
However, making an effort to listen without judgment, showing empathy, and being patient can go a long way in keeping the bond strong. These strategies help build trust and keep the dialogue open, allowing parents and teens to navigate this challenging phase together.
Balancing guidance with the freedom to make their own choices helps children grow confidently while keeping the parent-child bond strong.
Setting healthy boundaries: A KEY TO SUCCESSFUL PARENT-TEEN RELATIONSHIP
One of the key aspects of maintaining a healthy parent-teen relationship is setting boundaries. Boundaries are crucial because they provide structure and safety for your teenager. However, they can be tricky to establish, especially if they haven’t been set early on.
When a teen wants more independence, enforcing rules can cause tension. The key is to set rules that are fair but firm, so that a teen feels respected and understands why limits are important.
Tips for setting boundaries:
1.
Communicate Clearly
Parents must ensure the teen understands the reasons behind the rules.
2.
Be Consistent
Stick to the boundaries that are set to avoid confusion.
3.
Actively Listen
Allow teens to express their feelings and concerns about the boundaries.
Introducing Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to parents and teen
The Emotional Freedom Techniques, commonly known as EFT Tapping, is a therapeutic method that involves gently tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on a particular emotional or physical issue.
This process aims to reduce stress, manage emotions, and enhance overall well-being by addressing the body's energy system and releasing negative emotions (2).
How can EFT help with parent-teen relationships?
EFT Tapping can be incredibly beneficial for both parents and teens. For parents, it can help manage the stress and anxiety that often accompany raising a teenager. For teens, it provides a healthy outlet for dealing with emotions like anger, frustration, and sadness.
Benefits of EFT for Parent-Teen Relationships:
1.
Reduces Stress
Helps both of them manage stress and anxiety.
2.
Improves Communication
By addressing emotional blocks, EFT can facilitate more open and honest communication between parents and their teens.
3.
Strengthens Bonds
Using EFT together can build trust and strengthen parent-teen relationships.
As an EFT practitioner, how would you help parents with the question: "How Do I Fix My Teenage Kid?"
When a parent asks this question, it’s important to approach the situation with empathy and a focus on collaboration. Here’s a structured response:
1.
Validate and Empathise
Start by acknowledging the parent’s concerns and emotions. This shows that you understand their frustration and are there to help.
Example: “I can see that this situation is really weighing on you. It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed when trying to support your teenager through tough times.”
2.
Identify the Specific Challenge
Ask the parent to describe the specific issues they’re facing with their teenager. This helps narrow down the focus and makes the problem more manageable.
Example: “Can you share more about what exactly is troubling you? Are there particular behaviours or issues that are causing concern?”
3.
Understand Both Worlds
Understanding both the teenager’s and the parent’s perspectives is crucial in finding a solution.
Example: “Teenagers often face their own set of challenges that might not always be visible to parents. At the same time, parents have their own pressures. By understanding both sides, you can work towards a better solution.”
4.
Engage in a Collaborative Approach
Emphasise the importance of working together, both the parent and the teenager, to create positive changes.
Example: “To effectively support your teen, it’s essential that we approach this as a team. Both of you need to be involved in making positive changes.”
5.
Introduce Practical Solutions
Introduce EFT as a tool that can help both the teenager and the parent manage stress and emotional challenges.
Example: “We can use EFT to help manage the stress and emotional struggles that your teen is facing. It’s not just about helping your teen, but also about how you can support them while managing your own emotions.”
6.
Encourage Open Communication
Promote the importance of having open and honest conversations with their teenager.
Example: “It’s really beneficial to talk openly and honestly with your teen. Listening to them and understanding their feelings can make a big difference.”
7.
Promote Ongoing Support
Reassure the parent that this is a process, and that continuous involvement is key to making lasting changes.
Example: “This is a journey; staying involved and supportive is crucial. We’ll be here to help you every step of the way.”
By following these steps, you create a supportive and collaborative environment where both the parent and the teenager feel understood and empowered to make positive changes.
How do you introduce EFT to a teenager?
Introducing Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to teenagers can be a powerful way to help them manage their emotions, reduce stress, and improve their relationships.
Here's how you can approach it with real-life examples:
1.
Start with Simplicity and Relevance
Teenagers might find the traditional EFT process lengthy, so it’s important to keep it simple and relevant to their needs.
Explain EFT as a tool that can help them feel better quickly when they’re stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed.
Example: Imagine a 14-year-old girl named Sara who feels anxious about an upcoming school presentation. You can introduce EFT by saying, “Hey Sara, I know presentations can be really nerve-wracking. Would you like to try something that can help you calm down quickly? It’s called tapping, and it’s super simple. You just tap on a few points on your body while thinking about what’s bothering you. Let’s give it a try together.”
2.
Create “Magic Mantras”
Teenagers often connect well with catchy, personalized phrases or "magic mantras" that resonate with their specific challenges, making EFT more relatable and effective.
Example: A 17-year-old girl named Lily struggles with body image issues and often feels insecure when scrolling through social media. You can help her create a mantra like, “Even though I sometimes feel not good enough, I’m unique and worthy just as I am.” She can repeat this mantra while tapping on the EFT points to build self-acceptance and reduce negative self-talk.
3.
Use Real-Life Situations
Show how EFT can be applied to real-life situations they face daily, whether it’s dealing with school pressure, peer relationships, or family conflicts.
Example: Imagine a teenager, Neha, who feels anxious about speaking up in class. By using EFT, she taps on her fear of embarrassment, repeating, “Even though I feel nervous about speaking, I choose to stay calm and confident.” Over time, Neha gains the courage to participate more, improving both her confidence and classroom experience.
4.
Encourage them to take ownership
Empower teenagers by encouraging them to use EFT whenever they feel stressed or emotional. Let them know they have a tool they can use anytime, anywhere, to take control of their emotions.
Example: Jake, a 13-year-old, often gets frustrated during soccer practice when things don’t go his way. He learned EFT as a quick way to calm down during these moments. Now, before reacting out of anger, Jake takes a moment to tap and repeat, “Even though I’m upset right now, I can stay cool and focus on doing my best.” This practice has helped him manage his frustration better and improve his game.
EFT Tapping StepS for Parents to overcoming frustration and build a stronger bond with their Teen
You can guide clients through EFT Tapping to address the frustrations they experience in their relationship with their teens. By focusing on specific emotional triggers and limiting beliefs, you can help both parent and their adolescents release negative feelings to build a stronger, more empathetic connection.
I have used frustration as an emotion, feel free to replace it when you work with your client on distinct feelings or issues.
Step 1:
Recognise and Acknowledge Your Frustration
Explore the physical sensations in your body associated with the frustration and use the physical tension tapping process to reduce these sensations. To begin the process of EFT Tapping for frustration, take some time to ask yourself the following questions.
- What specific situations with your teen make you feel frustrated?
- Who or what triggers these feelings of frustration?
- What needs to happen for you to feel this frustration?
- What negative thoughts or beliefs does this frustration bring up in you?
- If you no longer felt frustrated, what space would open up in your relationship with your teen?
Now, bring into your awareness a recent time when you felt frustrated with your teen.
1.
Investigate the physical nature of frustration
To understand the physical nature of your frustration, think about the answers to the questions below, and notice where you feel it in your body. Ask yourself:
- Where in your body do you experience the feeling of frustration?
- What is the color, size, texture, and shape of the frustration? (Try to visualise it.)
- How do the sensations feel? Is it rough or smooth, sharp or dull?
2.
Measure the level of frustration
Measure the level of your frustration by rating it on a scale of 0-10. Ask yourself,
“What number is the level of frustration at, where 10 is really high and 1 is not high at all?”
Just go with whatever comes up spontaneously, without thinking too much about it.
3.
Tap on the Karate Chop points
Start tapping on the side of the hand EFT Tapping points,
“Even though I feel frustrated with my teen because of ___________, and I can feel it in my (part of the body) _______________, and it’s at a level ___________, and it makes me feel _______________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”
Repeat this 3 times.
4.
Tap on the facial tapping points
Start tapping on the upper body, facial and finger tapping points:
- Eyebrow: “I feel so frustrated when my teen doesn’t listen to me...”
- Side of the Eye: “Ahh, my attempts to communicate often lead to misunderstandings...”
- Under the Eye: “I feel disconnected from my teen because of this frustration...”
- Under the Nose: “It’s hard to stay calm when I feel this way…”
- Chin: “I’m finding it hard to stay patient when they push my buttons...”
- Collarbone: “I want to feel more connected, but the frustration is strong...”
- Under the Arm: “All this frustration and worry about our bond…”
- Thumb: “I feel disconnected because of different interests…”
- Index Finger: “I’m struggling with the lack of shared activities that used to bring us closer...”
- Middle Finger: “I feel frustrated when my efforts to spend quality time don’t seem to resonate with my teen...”
- Little Finger: “I’m dealing with the disappointment of unmet expectations in our relationship...”
5.
Close the sequence
Close the sequence by tapping on the Karate Chop point once again,
“Even though I still feel some frustration with my teen, and I feel it in my __________, and it’s at a level _______, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, and I am open to strengthening our relationship.”
6.
Relax
Take a gentle breath in, then let it out and take a sip of water.
7.
Test yourself
After completing this round of tapping, ask yourself, “What number is the frustration at now?”
If it has reduced to a level you feel comfortable with, you can stop. If not, you can repeat the process until you feel a greater sense of peace and connection.
Step 2:
Discover Past Experiences of Frustration
To explore the underlying memories linked to your frustration, consider these reflective questions:
- When have you felt similar frustration in the past? Reflect on specific moments when you felt this way. Did these experiences share common triggers or themes?
- What does this feeling of frustration remind you of? Think about past situations or relationships where you felt the same level of frustration. What similarities can you identify?
- When do you experience a sense of calm and connection? Identify times when frustration was absent, and you felt a positive, strong bond with your teen or others. What was different about those moments?
- What specific triggers bring about this frustration? Pinpoint what tends to spark these feelings, whether it's a certain behaviour, event, or pattern. Understanding these triggers can help in addressing the root cause.
Step 3:
Explore Limiting Beliefs
Identify and address any limiting beliefs that may be contributing to your frustration. These beliefs can hinder your confidence and effectiveness in building a strong relationship with your teen:
- What negative beliefs might you hold about your ability to connect with your teen? Reflect on any doubts or fears, such as, “I’m not a good communicator,” or “I always mess things up with my teen.”
- How might these beliefs be affecting your interactions? Consider how these limiting beliefs influence your responses and relationship dynamics. Are they leading to avoidance, frustration, or misunderstandings?
- What positive beliefs could replace these limiting ones? Shift your focus from the negative to the positive by thinking of empowering beliefs, such as, “I can improve our communication with effort and patience,” or “I have the ability to connect deeply with my teen.”
Step 4:
Close with positive EFT Tapping for frustration
End your tapping session with positive affirmations to develop a sense of peace and connection:
- “Even though I feel frustrated with our communication, I choose to remain open to understanding.”
- “Despite the challenges, I am committed to finding new ways to connect with my teen.”
- “Even though I struggle with feeling disconnected, I trust that we can work through this together.”
- “I acknowledge the frustration, but I am ready to embrace patience and empathy in our relationship.”
- “I choose to listen with an open heart, setting aside my own fears.”
- “I release the urge to react with anger and choose calm instead.”
Case studies supporting the efficacy of Emotional Freedom Techniques to enhance parent-teen connection
How did EFT help a 17-year-old overcome migraine and improve concentration?
Suniyta Jainn, a certified Energy Flow & EFT practitioner from Vitality Living College, once worked with a 17-year-old girl who was in 12th Standard and struggling with severe anxiety and frequent migraines. After just two sessions, the girl’s anxiety levels came down significantly.
During the sessions, certain memories surfaced, and they worked through those using tapping. As her anxiety lessened, the girl started setting goals and managing her studies more effectively.
By the end of the two sessions, her anxiety was completely under control. This year, she even secured admission to LSD College and hasn’t needed any further sessions since.
How did EFT help a 15-year-old girl calm her emotions?
Yasmin Gill, a certified EFT and Inner Child Matrix practitioner from Vitality Living College, worked with a 15-year-old girl who was preparing for her 10th board exams. The girl's mother had reached out because her daughter, usually a good student, was struggling with severe exam anxiety. The anxiety was affecting her sleep, leaving her restless.
After the first tapping session, the girl’s mother called to say she had finally slept well. They did two more sessions, during which it came out she had some memory with one teacher which was causing her anxiety more than anything else, and that she would not be able to perform well in exams.
This memory was the root of her anxiety and the fear that she wouldn’t perform well in her exams. After addressing that, the girl’s anxiety decreased, and she ended up scoring an impressive 94% in her board exams.
Creative play with EFT helps tweens and teens express emotions with ease
Naushina Shaikh, a certified EFT practitioner from Vitality Living College, has been working with teens, tweens, and kids for a while and tries different creative methods to help them express their emotions. She makes the sessions playful, turning them into games.
For example, she uses something like "Chinese whispers," where kids can whisper their emotions to a plush toy (like a teddy bear). If they find it hard to express their feelings, they pretend the teddy is speaking for them, saying, "This is what my teddy told me."
She also creates games with cards where kids match emotions to different points, making it more fun for them to talk about how they feel. If a child has a plush toy, Naushina sometimes asks them to sew a button on it, and they can tap on the button during the session. If they don’t have a plush toy, she asks them to draw one, colour it, and mark tapping points on the drawing.
This approach works really well, especially with tweens who are going through puberty and may not want to share their feelings openly. It has been effective both in online and in-person group settings.
How did an EFT session help to overcome negative thoughts and strengthen the mother-daughter relationship?
Kavita Yadav, a parenting coach and a certified EFT practitioner from Vitality Living College, helped a 12-year-old girl and her 35-year-old mother who were struggling emotionally. The daughter dealt with overthinking, procrastination, low confidence, anger, and anxiety, while the mother had her own issues with anger, self-doubt, and guilt. The daughter, being the eldest, was largely influenced by her mother's emotional state.
Additionally, the fear that something bad might happen in the future increased daughter’s negative thinking patterns. On the mother’s side, her unresolved childhood fears and anxieties played a role in her overprotectiveness, which intensified her daughter’s emotional struggles.
Through four EFT sessions, both mother and daughter addressed these challenges.
In Session 1, they identified their emotions, with the daughter recognising how her thoughts fueled anxiety and the mother acknowledging how her childhood fears impacted her parenting.
Session 2 helped them dig deeper into the root causes of their negative thinking patterns. The daughter saw her fears as choices, and the mother realised her overprotectiveness stemmed from unresolved childhood issues.
In Session 3, they learned to reframe their thoughts. The daughter shifted from negative to neutral thinking, while the mother worked on her anger and self-doubt.
By Session 4, the daughter had built healthier thought patterns, boosting her confidence and reducing anxiety, while the mother balanced her role as both a supportive parent and a friend.
Outcomes:
The daughter gained emotional awareness, broke the cycle of overthinking, and built positive thought patterns, while the mother addressed her own fears, improved emotional regulation, and strengthened their bond.
Conclusion:
EFT helped them manage their emotions, break negative patterns, and create a healthier, more supportive relationship.
Using EFT to improve focus and confidence in a 16-year-old boy
This is another story where Kavita supported a 16-year-old boy who struggled with focus, time management, and balancing his studies with extracurricular activities. His tendency toward perfectionism led to procrastination and lowered his self-confidence. His mother, a high achiever, often pointed out his mistakes, which added to his lack of focus and self-doubt.
Through four EFT sessions, the boy and his mother worked on these challenges.
In Session 1, the boy recognised that his perfectionism caused him to overthink and delay tasks. EFT tapping helped reduce this pressure and boost his self-confidence by acknowledging even small achievements.
In Session 2, EFT was used to break the cycle of overthinking and procrastination, and practical exercises were introduced to improve his time management.
In Session 3, the boy’s mother joined, realising that her over-involvement stemmed from her own childhood need for attention. She saw how her helicopter parenting was impacting her son’s confidence and focus.
Session 4 was a joint session where both mother and son worked on improving communication and relationship dynamics. The mother learned to offer positive reinforcement, allowing her son to make decisions and learn from his mistakes.
Outcomes:
The boy developed better focus, reduced procrastination, and gained more self-confidence. His mother adopted a more supportive approach, improving their relationship and reducing stress for both.
Conclusion:
EFT helped the boy overcome perfectionism and procrastination while boosting his confidence. His mother shifted to a more encouraging role, leading to a healthier and more supportive relationship.
Strengthening a relationship with a teen requires patience, empathy, and the willingness to adapt. By using EFT, you can help parents, and their teenage children manage their emotions, improve communication, and build a stronger, more supportive bond. Remember, this journey is not just about “fixing” your teen, but about growing together as a family.
