Having Fight with Your Teens So Often? Find Its Way Out!
Oh, please, dear, don’t wear those clothes!
Geez… you shouldn’t eat those fast food so often.
Honey, I think that guy isn’t a good person to be your friend..
Have said those things to your teens lately? Or you always tell them what to do and not to do?
Well, that’s really normal for every parent. But for your teens, this could be their nightmare! Instead of making things better, your teens would be spoiling the “rules”.
It’s not easy to have teens. At this age period, they are looking for their identity and creating values and thoughts of their own. It’s certainly normal. Indeed, what they do is a preliminary step to jump into adulthood.
What you, parents, can do in this kind of situation are …
- let them know that you keep telling the same ‘annoying’ advice because you love them so much and that you don’t want them to get hurt
- sometimes, just let them choose what they want and always remind them that they have to be responsible for what they do
- make friendly communications with them more often and ask what they’re thinking about this teen period
- take them out once in a while; maybe you can have a lunch together at their favorite places or enjoy a box office movie together, just the two of you!
So, good luck with your teens!
