Open your home to their friends.

Our teens are looking for a place to hang out. Be a good sport about it. Have some healthy snacks around for them, let them play their music and make yourself available. You'll be surprised how many of their friends might need a listening ear. If this makes you really uncomfortable, it's your house and you have the right to enforce your rules. HOWEVER, be aware that this won't help the situation in any way. It WILL make them feel that you do not trust or respect them. Open communication is always a better approach.

Be Specific When Praising

Image
When you are praising your child, be specific about what the praise is for. Children need to learn to evaluate their own success. When you are not specific, they have a hard time understanding exactly what it is they have done well. Being specific can be hard to do every single time we are giving our children a compliment. There will be many times you don’t even hear half of what your child is telling you and you simple say, “Good Job.” We are not pe rfect, it happens. But try to be specific as often as you can remember to. Instead of telling her, “Good job cleaning your room,” you might say, ‘You did a very good job putting all your toys where they go. Your room looks great, thank you.” Another example could be, “I am so happy that you cleaned up the juice you spilled, and thank you for putting the dirty clothes into the laundry.” Remember to tell your child thank you. Your child will know that you appreciate what she does and in return she will want to continue pleasing you. U...

The Effects of Inflation

Image
Children are like balloons. Fill a balloon with the right element, and up it rises. Fill it with the wrong element, and you’ll find it going lower and lower until it’s aimlessly bobbing along the dirt, being kicked around and trampled. Like balloons, we fill our children up with various elements as well. Fill them with the right stuff : self-esteem; a positive self-image; a high self-worth; love. Where do you think they’ll go? That’s right—they’re goi ng up! Just try to stop them if they’re filled  with the right stuff! On the other hand, take the right stuff out of them. Put in the wrong stuff , the stuff that weighs them down—negativity; guilt; self-doubt; feelings of inferiority (as we discussed in the previous section). Just picture the consequences of that in your head for a minute. Can children ever rise up and move on if we don’t fill them with the right stuff?  And more importantly, how do we know what we’re giving them IS the right stuff? Think about the man...

Develop Empathy

Image
At this crucial time in their lives, they're looking for someone to understand what they're going through. We all need understanding, but your teenager needs it a lot more than you can possibly imagine and he/she needs it to come from you. When they come home, stop what you're doing (no matter how important you think it is) and give them your undivided attention. Look them in the eye, discipline yourself to stay focused on them and what they're saying not  on what you're going to say, and guard your response to them. It's often been said that people need others just to listen. They generally don't need you to fix their problems for them (they'll figure that out for themselves), but rather they need someone who'll listen and empathize with them. This is what your teen needs from you. And if you don't give this to them, believe me, they'll find someone who will.
