Many young people say they don't get enough of this from their parents. Another idea is to teach them better reasoning skills. In other words, we should help them think through problems for themselves. We also need to show them better ways of dealing with stress. For example, they could learn some simple relaxation exercises. Another strategy is for them to talk about their feelings with someone they trust.
