Parenting Teens, Parenting adolescents, Parenting Children Az
It is not to late to learn balanced parenting. Parenting is a balance between authority and love. Teens and children need discipline, however, it is best if it is set up as a logical consequence for making poor choices. Teens need to feel: safe, secure, stable, and have a sense of control. This is a foundation for life.
Parenting must be clear and consistent. If the rule is homework must be done before the teen or adolescent gets on the computer or cell phone then this must be done on a daily basis.
Listening to your: child, teen, adolescent is essential If a teenager does not feel you are listening then he/she believes that they have nothing valuable to say and your effectiveness as a parent is diminished greatly. Take time and listen you can agree to disagree but hear what your teen or adolescent has to say and empathize with them.
