PARENTING TEENS TIPS

Parenting Teenager Children – Education and CollegeThere are hundreds of colleges; helping your teenager children to find one that fits their needs, and your budget, can sometimes be difficult; especially if your teens are not sure what they want to do! The first step is to look at what your teens want to do, and have a deep discussion of exactly which college they want to go. When considering what colleges to apply to, it’s not all your choice; and it’s not all theirs. Agreeing on a college is very important, because your teens needs to feel the freedom of being able to choose their college, and you need the security of knowing where they’re going is safe, secure, and the best education that they can get. If your teenage children approach you with not going to college, it can come as a shock to you as a parent; especially if you expected the typical growth—college, job, family; in that order. Sometimes, it just doesn’t work out that way.

Drugs addiction among teenage children - One of the biggest fears of most parents is, without a doubt, something no one wants to talk about—no one even wants to think about it, but when it comes down to it, it’s something that’s facing every teenager, and every parent. -Drugs Addiction.                                                         From the moment your teenage children get with their friends to the moment they lay their heads down to sleep, drugs are a big part of a teenagers surrounding. It’s a strange age for someone to go through, and drugs are more readily available now than they ever have been in the past .With countless schools having raids for drugs on their students. Hundreds of thousands children are faced with the opportunity of trying, buying, using and abusing drugs; and without the right knowledge, discipline, and discussion, your children very well could fall onto a path that’s simply not right. How can you, a parent who is concerned, help?   The rule of thumb is to talk with your children; it’s an annoyingly over-used piece of advice that only gets circulated so much because it truly makes a difference. Tell your children your stance on drugs, and discuss what’s best to do in that sort of situation. Make sure that your children know that you will love them no matter what, but that doing drugs isn’t something that you approve of. Watch for tell-tale signs of drug use in teenagers, which includes:             1. Putting Great Emotional Distance Between Friends and Family     2. Sudden change in personality—becoming quiet, more nervous than usual,     3. Staying out later than usual, reluctance to talk about their new activities.      4.  Spending time with a group of friends you don’t know very well.  The only thing, if you suspect drug use in your children, is to confront them about it, and hope for the best. Be honest with them, and yourself, and in the end, it will turn out for the best.                                                                                Read the rest of this entry »

Mobile Phone Addition Among Teenager -Better late than addicted

As mobile phone addiction becomes more prevalent among juveniles, it is important that parents think twice before they give their teenage children a mobile phone. As with any addiction, recovery is a painful journey, and prevention is better than cure. Therefore, it is best that parents teach their children that a mobile phone is not necessary until they turn 16 years old, because until that age, most school-going children’s lives are centered on the school timetable.This means that their whereabouts are generally predictable. Hence there is no need for them to be constantly contactable. More important, let your children know that if they get addicted to something, they would not be able to live normally. Explain to them that mobile phones are embedded with many addictive activities such as text messaging, games and Web-surfing. Therefore, there is a very high chance that an impressionable child can get addicted to the mobile phone. Prepare your child for the responsibilities that comes with a mobile  phone. Teach them to plan their time wisely and engage in their pastimes with proper limits. If your child already has a mobile phone or eventually gets one, it is important that you limit your child’s usage of the mobile phone.

Hi Parent 

 Parenting teenage children: We all remember some of the punishments of our own childhood. How unjust they seemed, and how outraged we felt! Punishment undoubtedly has a place in parenting teenage children, but only a NEGATIVE place. Punishment does not make teenager children good. If teenager children are punished frequently, it may even make them bad. As suggested by veteran novelist, William Dean Howells, parents have clung to the wisdom of Solomon, in this respect, through centuries of changing conditions. Solomon said: “Spare the rod and spoil the child”; Mr. Howells suggests that we might with profit spoil the rod and spare the child.   Love and patience are the secret of parenting teenagers.  Have A Blessed Day!

To Your Success In Parenting!

There is no universal formula for parenting teens. To perform the duties of parenthood well, parents must put in efforts at understanding their teens more clearly.

Parenting teens will be a pleasanter task if parents understand the workings of their teenagers’ mind.

There is always hope for parents who takes any real interest in self-improvement. You are never too old to “turn over a new leaf” and begin a new record!
