Parents will experience some changes in their children when they reach teen-age. Certainly parenting teenagers is a difficult task for parents. A teenager like to be out of the house most of the time and may try to avoid parents as he wants more privacy. He may not follow your words, instead he expects you to understand him.

It is common for many parents face similar problems when controlling their teens.

You have to recollect your teenage period to understand your teen child, you liked to spend more time with your friends rather than with your parents, in the same way your child also thinks and tries to take his own decisions.

Do you feel you are loosing control on your teenage child or he is not listening to you?

Don’t worry you will be able to deal with this situation if you know hot to do it.

Here are the solutions:

1. Communicating with him is the better option, try to talk to him as much as possible and give him freedom to exchange his views. Always try to discuss interesting topics for teenagers like sports, movies, activities in school and friends to make him comfortable with you..

2. If your child frankly expresses his views about you, then listen to him and try to find a solution for your problem with him. Don’t straight away scold him though his opinion is wrong. Tackle the situation wisely but not emotionally.

3. Fix some guidelines for him. Tell him that he has to following those guidelines and make him realize that it is good for him if he follows your advice. You clearly tell him the consequences of misbehaviour. Hence you should fix his daily schedule and tell him that he has to follow it without fail and rest of his wishes will be fulfilled.

4. Pay attention to whatever your teenage child says and respect his feelings. If you consider his views, he will come to know that you care for him and you give importance to him.

5. Try to find out inner talents of you child and encourage them. They like to be recognised and appreciated. Some time you may not like his choice then help him choose the right way and explain him that his choice may endanger him. Give him the support that is needed. This is the right thing to do to get his attention. Gradually you can make him a responsible teenager if you win his heart by giving importance to his feelings and at the same time directing and controlling him. This is one of the important points to remember in parenting teenagers.

6. There is one thing that is definitely going to improve your relationship with your child is, try to do your household work or outside work together. Go for shopping together, play with him like a child. This way you can easily grab his attention and he will slowly start to do what you want him to do. Fix an interesting schedule for the month and enjoy the pleasant results at the end. When you do things together, try playing foot ball together or swimming together at the beech. You can try so many options like that which come to your mind.

You have to go for enjoyable weekends apart from busy schedule of his school studies and homework. Have breakfast at McDonalds’s or go to a food corner of your child’s choice. Go together for a movie, for fishing or visiting a place of entertainment for teenage children to make your child refreshed and prepare him for the coming week. Good communication and positive interaction without underestimating him is the important factor in a successful relationship between you and your child. Though it takes some time, trying these tips is worth in view of the enjoyment you will get from being a parent of your teenage child. So be positive while parenting teenagers and be hopeful that there is always some solution existing for your problems when dealing with them.

It is natural for children to be active and energetic. It is the responsibility of parents and society to give them healthy and constructive outlets.

The boy was forced to go to counseling by his family…he was forced to receive the counseling from a pastor….the child is a minor. So, his family sought the advice from a pastor rather than a trained professional counselor…obviously, the family should be held somewhat responsible…but, it bothers me that pastors are not required to have psychological training before counseling troubled people.
