Supportive Parenting Perspectives - Sometimes That Is All Your Child Needs

By Jhon Parker


You will experience plenty of challenges on down the road when your little child becomes a teenager. This is a rite of passage for both of you. This is something that neither of you can run away from. But, we do not like to look at this as a bad thing. Your teenager's high school years should be a fun time for both of you. There will be both new challenges ahead of you as well as new experiences that await you. You will need to explore what is possible with your child and give them more challenges of their own. But, all of these things are supposed to transform them into dutiful and able adults whenever they grow up and leave home.

There are important lessons to be learned by us, as the parents in these cases. Yes, it sometimes takes our kids to keep us honest and while it can be cute it can also be highly annoying.

Kids can be like lovable weasels. I'm making this comparison because once you've asked them or told them to do something, they will wiggle and struggle and basically do anything just to avoid doing what you want. But those are the precise times when you need to stand your ground, firmly. Your child will only consider the negative implications that he or she will find painful and not the reasons behind your decision, since you are the only one who really knows why you did what you had to do. And you know very well that it only takes you giving in once for all your future decisions to be tested constantly.

Children can be quite reasonable and if they think they are helping you in some way, their natural empathy and love will help them understand. You may see the importance of this method once you realize how many application sit has.

For this reason it is imperative that you treat them like young adults. There are a few important ways in which this can be done. One approach is to offer them the territory they want so badly and speak to them like adults while showing them the expectations you have. It might be necessary to set some new rules around the house that are more in tune with the new status.

Yes, that is right - the home team. You should tell them why this is done and what you expect them to learn from it. People are usually more apt to cooperate if they know why they are doing things and those things make sense to them. You can take advantage of being at home when parenting your teens about certain issues in life. One example is money management and allowing them to decide on their. They'll still be quite safe, even if they spend every last penny. They will realize the discomfort and aggravation of wanting to do something, but they cannot because they blew their weekly paycheck.
