    being a good parent

    Parenting teenagers can be challenging. This is the time when they try to gain their independence. They feel they are grown up to take decisions. they feel that their parents do not understand them and thus always try to oppsoe them but i want to be a good parent to my teenager. any ideas.

    Almost all the parents try to achieve the ideal mark for their children at any given stage of the child's age. Right from birth to their married lives they try to provide their ward the best guidance and support they are capable of. The toughest part for a parent in my opinion is to communicate with their child. This is because many a times we misinterpret the true meaning of this word and end up lecturing our little adult without realizing whether the little mind that is already so confused owing to the chemical changes in the brain and physical changes in the body is able to rightly process the information and bring about the expected change that we desire. We expect them to view the world through our eyes and in doing so we drift further away from them .
    So parents get in their shoes and then provide an answer to their problems... their way.

    Teenage is the transitional period. you can keep the lines of communication open, be honest with him, set limitations but let him have his say too, give responsibility and advice, rather than lecturing, support him in every decision he makes and be patient with him.

    Being a good parent means you will guide your child and he will still love you. Not only that he will remember your parenting skills and guide his child to in a same way. Teens need space and always try to break boundaries and limits set for them. Sometimes they make arguments over things. It becomes a tough task. So Parents need to change themselves and give teens space to become more human. Parents must learn positive parenting skills to be a good parent. Its even harder for parents in the nuclear family. To overcome parenting challenges they can take support from friends and experts, or they can simply join parenting classes who can help them master positive parenting skills.
