Parenting Mistakes To Avoid With Teenagers
Parenting teenagers is probably the most difficult task on planet Earth. It is much more difficult even than rocket science. Parenting teenagers is like walking a very thin rope; at the slightest mistake, you may trip and fall. The parenting mistakes that you make while your kids are in their teens will affect their life in a very far reaching way. That is why you must try to annul any chances of making major parenting mistakes.
All teenagers have problems. If your kid is not going through a particularly troubled teen, then you are lucky. But teenagers are emotionally volatile and they are not yet mature enough to take all the right decisions. Here are some common parenting mistakes that you must try to avoid while dealing with teenage kids.
Nagging
Your kid is at a stage when he or she can cannot stand nagging. Their racing hormones hardly give them enough patience to bear boring lectures in school. If you nag and lecture them at home, they'll just stop taking you seriously.
Insulting
Do you think that yelling at your teen kid and insulting him/her in public will help to get the message across? Well then you are wrong. Teenagers are highly sensitive about their self respect. And if you do anything to hurt their self esteem, its a big parenting mistake.
They Must Be Wrong
Just because your child is at an impressionable age, it does not mean that he or she lacks intelligence or instinct. There can be things about which you are wrong and they are right. Be humble enough to accept that you can be proved wrong by your kids. Sometimes it should be a moment of pride for you as a parent if your kid proves you wrong.
Making Choices For Them
Whether your son should study medicine or law is his decision. Do not try to make a decision for your child's life, that is not yours to make. Forcing your choices on your kids only aggravates their teenage traumas. It is unethical and bad parenting.
Spying On Them
Stop eavesdropping on your daughter's telephone conversations, and the 'no closed doors' system at home. Teenagers like to have privacy and you must respect that. If your kids know that you spy on them, they are only going to go farther away from you.
Being Over-Friendly
If teenagers hate one thing more than anything else then it is their parents trying to be over-friendly. They have lots of people their own age who can be friends. You really don't have to be friends with your kids because from their perspective your friendliness is just another way of snooping.
Avoid these parenting mistakes when your kids are passing through troubled teenage years. Once they cross over to 20, they will start realising that parents were right all along.
