Parenting teens is hard

Parenting a teenage boy in the modern world can feel challenging.

 

Between academic pressures, social media, friendships, and the transition toward adulthood, many young men struggle to find their footing, which can have impacts on them, and those around them. At 25 Degrees North, we provide mindfulness coaching tailored specifically for boys and young men, equipping them with practical skills to navigate life’s complexities.

​

Why mindfulness matters for teens

​

Teenage years are a time of rapid change. Emotionally, socially, and physically, todays teenagers are feeling the pressure. Many experience:

​

• Stress and anxiety around exams, school, and expectations

• Confidence struggles and self‑doubt

• Peer pressure and social media influence

• Difficulty managing emotions in healthy ways

​

Mindfulness helps teens, especially boys, develop awareness of their own thoughts, feelings and space. This awareness empowers them to:

​

• Stay calmer under pressure

• Build emotional resilience and self‑confidence

• Improve focus and concentration

• Strengthen wellbeing and balance in everyday life

​

Our approach

​

At 25 Degrees North, we make mindfulness practical, relatable, and jargon‑free. Sessions are designed to be supportive and non‑judgmental, giving boys a safe space to explore their emotions and learn skills they can use every day.

​

We focus on building confidence and resilience, setting healthy boundaries, and learning life skills that your child can carry with them into adulthood. 

 

• Confidence building – helping boys believe in themselves

• Resilience training – preparing them to handle setbacks and challenges

• Healthy boundaries – especially around technology and social media

• Life skills – tools they can carry into adulthood

​

Mindfulness isn’t a quick fix, but it can be life‑changing. By learning these skills early, your teen can gain a foundation for adulthood that is calmer, more confident and more resilient.
