Boden Alvey said she tries to help teens find their “flow” to get them out of a rut. This means encouraging them to immerse themselves in an activity they enjoy. “Classic examples are doing a jigsaw puzzle, drawing, losing yourself in a book, going on a hike and not realizing how much time passed. Flow is losing yourself in an engaging activity. It helps counterbalance the stress of COVID,” she said. She added that finding ways to connect with peers can prove helpful, and families can sometimes restrict their children at greater lengths than what is recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Some activities she recommended include movie nights in the garage with ventilation flowing, sitting on blankets in the park or going on bike rides. “It’s important to adolescent development and their well-being,” Boden Alvey said. Next, the psychologist said parents shouldn’t be too hard on their kids during this stressful time and that giving them a break every once in a while can prove therapeutic. “Find ways to give a little to make sure teens aren’t feeling so much like they’re in a pressure cooker,” she said. Boden Alvey will also soon host a group at Sundstrom that will meet in person to open up about what they’re going through, while also learning coping skills and practicing mindfulness. The sessions will last four weeks. “The two big things they will get out Meg Boden Alvey, a Psy.D., a clinical psychologist at Sundstrom Clinical, plans to start in-person teen group sessions soon.
