Puzzles? Games? How do these help me? 

Games and puzzles provides a boost to a person's self-confidence and self-esteem. Solving puzzles and playing games prepare teens for other challenges in life. Games play an important role in the creation of teens' friendships.

What about coloring? 

Coloring allows teens to focus on the moment instead of worrying about the test tomorrow or how they're going to do in soccer practice. Not only is it a time for them to calm down, but it actually combats stress in teens. Less than an hour of coloring had a cortisol-lowering effect on individuals in one study.
