2018 is fast moving into Spring, and for school age children it’s term 3. For the older students that means Exam time. Teenagers and the state of their mental health are rarely out of the headlines – from suffering more anxiety than ever, to social media, the pressure of finding work, and graduating with debt. But academic results aren’t necessarily a predictor of future job success.
Have you heard of Redshirting? Have you opted to hold your child back an academic year for their so called academic advantage? It could harm their Emotional Intelligence, which tends to be a better predictor of job success than academic performance.
Helen Farmer is joined in studio today by two experts – Chasity O’Conell from Human Relations Institute and Clinics and Sue Atkins, Parenting Expert and coach based in the UK, who are discussing our anxious teens and how to teach them how to cope with the pressures of exam stress.

Helen Farmer speaks to Chasity O’Connell from Human Relations Institute and Clinics about the seemingly connected but different issues of shyness, introversion and social anxiety.
Psychologically, introversion is a personality trait which may or may not involve shyness, which is an emotion. Social anxiety is psychological disorder that can have a huge impact on people’s lives and can include panic attacks, depression, low self-esteem and extreme feelings of fear.
Some researchers estimate extroverts make up 50 to 74 percent of the population. The other 16 to 50 percent of the population consists of introverts. Although people may tend towards introversion or extraversion, approximations suggest around 38 percent of people are ambiverts, displaying both qualities of introversion and extraversion.

Anyone can get PTSD at any age – war veterans and survivors of physical and sexual assault, abuse, accidents, disasters and many other traumatic events, and not everyone with PTSD has been through a dangerous event.

Helen Farmer is joined in studio by Sabine Skaf discussing loneliness.
If you ever feel lonely you may take solace that you’re not alone, chronic loneliness is being described as a modern day epidemic, and the numbers are on the rise.
There are many different types of loneliness, from young people and across generations to the elderly. Across gender with more than 1 in 10 men admitting to feeling lonely – and this is a daily occurrence. The average age for a man to feel lonely is 37, and this could be due to men finding different social connections, realising that they have spent time previously focusing on their career, rather than friendships, relationships or even marriage.
