Good morning friends. Here are some thoughts that mom can follow when their teen is in trouble. It’s a common complaint among parents of teenagers; Their once sweet child has, seemingly overnight, turned all sulky and sensitive.
Adolescence is usually a difficult stage, but adds that it need not be turbulent. What they need is understanding.
As they shift from childhood to adult hood, teenagers, are going through tough process: They are pulling away from their family, trying to fill the vacuum this created with peer acceptance, beginning to create an identity separate from their family, and toward late adolescence, starting to set their life goals.
This changes may create first between parents and their teenagers. So if they want to reach out and communicate with their teens, parents must understand what their kids are going through.
“Teenagers will turn more to their friends if they feel misunderstood or if they feel their parents are not interested in what they are experiencing.”
One of the problems is when parents demand that their adolescent children act as adults immediately.
We should see communications as a bridge, half of which the parents must build. Parents should also realize that it is impossible to control our children and that we can only control ourselves. When we start to control and change our attitude and behavior toward our children, our children will be affected and they themselves will change. But the change should come from us. – George T.
