Parent Tips
University of Utah Health Communications
"The teen years can be a struggle for both teenagers and their parents. Kids at this age are notoriously moody. But many parents wonder: Is it normal for a teenager to be angry all the time?
It’s natural for teens to have a certain level of irritability, says Tiffany Nielsen, LCSW, social worker and youth residential treatment manager at Huntsman Mental Health Institute. But it could be something more serious if your child’s emotions are interfering with their ability to handle everyday activities at home or school. Nielsen explains what causes anger in teens and how to help an angry teenager feel better."
