S2, Ep 4 - Life balance for a teen

There are huge time demands on teenagers, with study, sport, part-time work and other activities all in the mix, even before social commitments are considered. It can be a huge workload for anyone, let alone a teenager who is still developing the capacity to cope with stress. It can lead to a lack of sleep, and impact both physical and mental health. And at the very least, performance will pay the price. As parents, we need to help our teenagers manage their time and find life balance. This podcast episode will help you understand how to go about it. About Tim Dansie: Tim is a registered Teacher and Psychologist.
