Is Your Teen’s “Attitude” Actually Anxiety? How to Build Calm & Confidence with Becky Funk, EP 128
Description
Ever wonder if your teen’s eye-rolling, silence, or outburst might be something deeper than "just being a teen"?
Teen confidence & anxiety coach Becky Funk joins host Dori Durbin to unpack what anxiety really looks like in teens—and how parents can protect connection while helping their kids self-advocate with calm and confidence. You’ll walk away feeling less alone and more equipped to respond, not react.
You’ll discover:
• How to tell the difference between explosive and shutdown anxiety
• Why high-achieving perfectionists often fly under the radar
• The 4-step process Becky teaches teens: awareness → calm → resiliency → self-advocacy
• What warm parenting styles do for teen resilience (and why it’s never too late to change)
• How small-talk practice can ease college transitions
“Communication is key—and protecting the relationship at all costs brings harmony to your home.” — Becky Funk
