Caroline Cavanagh shows parents how to help anxious teens by reframing judgment as opinion. When your teen worries what others think, call it their opinion instead, and remind them opinions are optional. One word shift, she says, builds confidence.

I'm sure as a parent you have heard your teenager express the fear of the judgment of others. The, the what if so-and-so doesn't like me? What if they say this? And this tip is just absolute gold dust. I've used it on my teenagers. Turn around to them and just say, it's just their opinion. Teenagers have opinions all the time, and when you just reframe that, it's not a judgment, It's just their opinion. Do you want to agree with it or don't you? That's your choice. It's such a brilliant change, pivot of one word into another that has a massive impact. Give it a go.
