[quote=Anonymous]There is a time and place to let them vent and get their anxieties out. Yes, that is our job to be a safe space. But as a college professor I implore you to listen and then give them ideas on how to implement self care, handling issues, learning to meditate, prioritize, and most importantly understand that life CAN suck and you will get thru it.

There are so many lazy teens and snowplow moms lately and college kids are suffering never having known self care, chores, how to handle some adversity, and handle their emotions on their own. You are allowed to mess up, you are allowed to be sad but they have to learn how to pick themselves up on their own and also self accountability. If you aren’t showing your kids there are 3 sides to every story and how other people might perceive things, your teens are going to stay selfish whiners. And when we get them. Whew. There is s MAJOR difference between college kids even just 10 years ago vs now.

So yes some venting is good but have them handle it with positives and self care too. [/quote]
