How to 'Conquer' Your Teenager in Simple, Loving Ways
It was like yesterday, when you hold your tiny baby who was
just born an hour before and now you see he or she is suffering from teenage
depression. Today, you face that your teenager are against you and prefer not
to spend longer time with anymore. You might feel downhearted. But do you
remember when you're as old as them, you wanted to spend time with your mates
rather than with your parents or family.
Do you wish to get control of your teenager? It is not that
complicated. Some simple ways will make them willing to hear your advice or
getting close to you whatever their problems are. One of the most effective
ways in improving your relationship with your teen is to talk to them like your
friends rather than interrogating them. Talking and listening to what he wishes
to share. Try to plunge into their interests like the latest trends of
entertainment and sports. Or you can just ask how their day after school. It
will make them feel like they really can depend on you.
On the other way around, you should also listen to him or
her if he or she utters his criticism to you. Expressing their feelings is
good. Talk back without getting emotional. Regard them as your friend and
respect his opinion whenever you discuss about any objects. This the way you
show that you pay attention to them and consider them important. Yet, you
should not set them too loose. Your teenagers still do need some control by
following the rules. Talk to them in a very gentle way and show them the
consequences of some misbehavior.
However, spending time together doing both your and their
interests is very much recommended. Swimming, play video games at least once in
a week will bond you together. But be sure to let them do his interests and
talents as they love to try new activities. Furthermore, this idea is a good
way of teaching your teenager about how to be responsible with things he does.
Surely, it won't work instantly. Do this continuously and
you will see the best result for avoiding your teenage depression. The way
teenagers think is surely differet with how they were during their kids’ time.
It is the right time to face the reality that your teenagers are growing and
they are facing their difficult time as they also need their parents to
understand.
