SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Are You Over-Strict With Your Teenager?

All teenagers are convinced that their parents are the meanest, strictest and cruelest in the history of the world.

Be aware that overly harsh rules can lead to problems. Parenting a teen means walking a fine line between what you would really like her to do and what it's realistically reasonable to ask or expect. Accept that there is usually a difference.

If the wind is not going your way take it at ease.

Sometimes things doesn’t go the way you want as if you don’t want your teenager girl to wear western clothes but she wants to as her peers wear them. so you ,instead of putting pressure on her, should agree with her. There are many such things to which you may not be convinced but they would be of no harm to your teens. Tolerance in areas like this can give you more credibility when you declare seriously antisocial or harmful behavior out of bounds.

Listen more than you talk. Keep a sense of humor

You'll learn a lot more by listening to your teen than you will by talking. Make sure your teen isn't using 'what other parents let teens do' to ask for your opinion on an issue that she's uncertain about. Discuss peer pressure and the challenges it can pose. Make it clear you believe in your teen's good judgment and encourage her to stand by her own values and code of conduct. Let her know that you will always be there for her. If conversation becomes heated, remember the power of humor. A shared laugh can ease the tension and helps to keep things in perspective.
