“The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.” — William James
If you live with a teenager, you know how much stress they can feel. Adolescent stress and anxiety have been a national topic of conversation since at least 2017, when a New York Times Sunday Magazine published
“
Why Are More American Teenagers Than Ever Suffering From Severe Anxiety
”
. Over the past few years, schools, colleges, and universities have witnessed more and more children and young adults becoming paralyzed by stress and anxiety, and to be honest, educators were not sure what to do about it.
