Holiday Stress for Teens: December is a particularly stressful month for teens due to the overlap of academic pressures, such as finals and college applications, with holiday demands, leading to potential burnout.
Family Dynamics and Autonomy: Increased family togetherness during the holidays can heighten stress for teens, who may feel a loss of control over their schedules and emotional boundaries, exacerbating conflicts.
Shifting Expectations: Parents can help reduce holiday stress by letting go of perfectionist ideals and focusing on meaningful traditions, realistic goals, and acknowledging that social comparisons can increase anxiety.
Seeking Support: If stress persists, parents should approach conversations with curiosity and validate their teen's feelings, and consider involving school counselors or therapists for additional support when necessary.
