When teens come to us with big emotions, our reaction teaches them how to feel about what they’re feeling. If we stay calm and steady, we signal that their emotions aren’t “bad” — and we avoid amplifying what may already feel overwhelming to them. Lisa Damour, Ph.D. and Reena Ninan unpack how to do this (even when it’s hard!) in this week’s episode of the Ask Lisa Podcast. | Ask Lisa Podcast

Snark happens. Eye rolls happen. A sharp tone now and then? That’s part of adolescence. But if your teen is irritable everywhere, at home, with teachers, with coaches, with friends, that’s different. When irritability becomes universal, it can be a sign of depression in teens, and it shouldn’t be overlooked. In Episode 259, “Why Is My Teen So Snarky?”, Lisa Damour, Ph.D. and Reena Ninan break down the difference between typical teen moodiness and something that deserves closer attention. | Ask L

We all do it. It’s not just teens. Casually saying “I’m so anxious,” “I have OCD,” or “My depression is flaring up” has become everyday language, even for some adults. But guess what? Teens are listening. And they may learn to define themselves through those labels too. In Episode 241 of Ask Lisa, Is My Teen Defining Herself by Her “Depression”? Lisa Damour, Ph.D. and Reena Ninan unpack how labeling has become a social identity… and what parents need to know before it sticks. | Ask Lisa Podcast
