Hello again
If you are a parent reading this, you will probably agree with with me that becoming a mother or father was one of the most, if not the most, joyful experiences of your life? You probably look back with "misty eyes" thinking of your child's first words, first steps and many other "firsts"!
So today if you are the parent of a troublesome teen you may just be wondering "where did it all go wrong?" indeed "what have I done wrong to bring such a foul mouthed and disrespectful young person into the world?" You may also have feelings of guilt or a sense of failure as a parent comparing your child or children to your well behaved nephews and nieces or other teens you know?
Well take hope because help is on its way! First of all it may be useful to examine some of the common teen "problems". These range from a "distance" in your relationship, to all too common confrontations, to power struggles, to heated arguments, to disrespectful attitudes, to not being listened to etc etc.. Of course there are many other teen problems and indeed more serious anti social behaviours, to drug abuse, to underage sex, to running with gangs the list is endless.
However what we are talking about here is the "norm" of teenage problems such that 96% of all parents report stress, confusion and frustration in dealing with their teen.
So what is the ideal outcome to this? Essentially as a parent you should be looking to create a 'win win' situation with your teen leading to a co-operative and harmonious relationship where both parties respect each other. The sad fact that many parents although well meaning go about this in the wrong way and their efforts at creating harmony with their teen backfire. Most parents approach this subject from a logical manner and rationale failing to understand that the person they are dealing with is at times acting highly illogically!
What parents need in today's highly complicated society is a "programme" that rapidly improves the current situation with your teen using proven strategies that correspond to the modern teenager's psychology. The aim is to create a "best friend" relationship with your teen which respects your position as a parent and leads to a mutually enjoyable relationship.
If you are a parent of a problem teen today and you are at your wits end and desperately need some powerful and effective strategies, I would like to recommend this valuable resource: http://tiny.cc/nylhh
