We know anxiety rates are skyrocketing in teens, even the ones who seem to have it all together. But how do we impact that? How can we help them reduce their anxiety? Agency. This is the ability to exert power, to have control over our life. It turns out, feeling like we are in control of our life reduces anxiety. That’s the power of agency, feeling like we have control over our life. And feeling like we have control means we are actually doing something to make our life better so it generally improves. Dr. Anthony Rao has a discussion with Mighty Parenting podcast host Sandy Fowler about the power of agency and how we can teach our teens and twenty somethings to use it to feel better and direct their life.
