The Pressures Hurting Your Teen

What are the main pressures that teens face today?

Course Summary

The time between childhood and adulthood has always presented difficulties to many passing through this time. And their family.

We at HYT know that these pressures can hurt but we also know that the level of hurt can be mitigated somewhat by understanding what is being faced, by honest discussion without judgement, and by sharing experiences with honesty. This brief, 35 minute course looks at the five main pressures faced today and offers a comparison with the past which we hope will prompt thought and an exchange of views.

The specific changes in the brain and their implications for behaviour are discussed in another course here at HYT where there is also practical advice on how to help your teen as the brain undergoes a change which can be dramatic and unsettling

My love of people, my deep curiosity in human behaviour, my desire to help people to become more complete, more balanced, more content, more fulfilled, and closer to who they have the potential to be have been life-long. 

So, it was probably no surprise that I worked for 36 years in secondary education in the UK - which I loved. Much of this time was devoted to providing guidance and support to pupils, staff and parents to try to enable them to see the value in the challenges and difficulties in their lives, to see the bigger picture, to see themselves and others less harshly, and to see the value of less fear.

After retiring early I moved with my wife to beautiful Devon in the summer of 2014 and continue to offer advice to those who come to me in need. 

As a long time meditator I find its value to myself and others huge. I began teaching it years ago (last century actually!) whilst I was still teaching and now teach meditation to both individuals and groups face-to-face and online. In addition, I have led evening, day and weekend retreats as well as many sessions more tightly focused on reducing stress. Designing and recording bespoke visualisations and teaching meditation 1-2-1 are in demand at the moment.

I also enjoy working with individuals to help them and their children sleep better, to be less negative in outlook, to be more mindful in their communication, to be less anxious, to be more reflective, and to enjoy life more. In all that I do my aim is always to offer practical advice to all in an appropriate, accessible, enjoyable, based in good science and discursive manner.

During the pandemic visits to businesses and schools to deliver talks and workshops have ceased although online meetings seem to work very well.

Several books are available on my Amazon page (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nigel-Lowson/e/B0034Q6LYQ) and several online courses are available from my website (https://nigel.newzenler.com) or via my YouTube Channel. 

Married to Gilly since 1980 I am a father to two girls and a grandfather to two boys still at school so I still feel connected to the young, in some way!
