Three quarters of mums and dads think the ages 13-19 are the most challenging years of raising kids, while 32 per cent admit they were ‘unprepared’ in a study of 1,000 parents. 3 Mood swings is the most stressful thing about parenting a teenager, according to a study Credit: Getty Coping with their mood swings is the most stressful thing about parenting a teenager, followed by helping them to make important life choices and allowing them to make their own mistakes. But nearly three in 10 parents find it difficult to help their teens through the anxiety of exams, with 29 per cent ‘shocked’ at the impact GCSEs and A-Levels had on their child’s stress levels. Worryingly, 66 per cent of parents even claim their child reached a point where they felt unable to cope with school, exams or the pressure on their education. Almost half think this school stress knocked their teen’s mental health, while 44 per cent believe it hit their confidence. Most commonly, teens under pressure become more argumentative or angry, and one in three lose sleep when stressed. A spokesperson for herbal remedies firm A.Vogel, which commissioned the study, said: “A lot is said about the stress of raising a newborn baby, but for many, the teenage years can be difficult and bring unexpected challenges. “Parents have to try and guide their child through a stressful time of exams and learning to deal with new hormones, when their teen is also trying to learn who they are and wants more independence.” More than three quarters of parents report their teenager has suffered through a period of stress, and a whopping 82 per cent of those say these worries were around their exams or education. Getting good grades is the top school worry, along with remembering everything they revise, and wondering what happens if they fail. Other triggers of school stress include the impact of the pandemic on their grades and living up to their parents’ and teachers’ expectations. As a result, nearly a third of parents believe there is too much pressure placed on a child’s education - but 29 per cent of parents felt powerless to help them through exams. The top tactic parents tried to alleviate their teen’s anxiety was talking to them. A third tried to give them space, 30 per cent tried to make sure other areas of their lives were calm and organised, while 27 per cent ensured they had a healthy diet. However, almost three in ten parents confess they felt more stressed about their child’s exams than their teen, with one in five claiming they felt unable to cope.

Read More »A quarter of parents think their youngster’s exam anxiety affected the whole family. Professor Margareta James, psychologist and founding director of The Harley Street Wellbeing Clinic, said: “We have a child morphing into an adult. "Their sleep patterns change which can cause chronic sleep deprivation that affects concentration levels and leads to poor attention span which inevitably reflects on their school and exam performance. “Brain maturation also coincides with puberty and hormonal changes, so they lack control in the ‘executive action’ areas (setting priorities, planning, organising and controlling impulsive behaviour). “This causes a lack of motivation, mood swings and conflicts with authority, as well as impacts on their decision-making, especially when it comes to risk-taking. “Exam time adds an additional layer of stress, but emotions come and go, and we can all learn to be in control of how we feel. “Herbal remedies containing Passiflora can promote relaxation during stressful or anxious situations including exams, but in the long term, parents and teenagers need to manage stress placed on the body through healthy eating, daily exercise, and good sleep habits as well as learning relaxation techniques such as regular meditation and havening.” Top 20 most stressful things about parenting a teenager 1.
