Teenagers Issues

Teenage comprises of Thirteen years to Nineteen years of age. If you have a teenager in your house, you may be worried about him/her. This age is not only a dangerous stage for teenagers themselves but very difficult and mind boggling for parents.

Parents have to be careful if their children are approaching teenage. Dont take it easy. Its the time when your child starts thinking that he/she can do everything on their own, they can take decisions and have better idea of the outer world than their parents. They start thinking about the world in a different way.

These changes are mostly due to physical changes in their bodies. Their hormones levels also change, their also affects their mind. They feel like they are stronger than ever and can do anything and can take better decisions.

However, parents should be aware that this is the stage where their children need more attention and care. If not properly guided, your teenager can go very wrong way and can harm him/herself or any other. So, as parents you should take following measures to help pass your children through age.

1. You should be friendly enough with your teenager that they should discuss and share every aspect of their life with you. 
2. Avoid scolding on their wrong things and try to convince them indirectly, dont be harsh and strict with them. Strictness will blow them up. It will create hatred against you rather teaching them any thing positive. 
3. Try to know their interests and then keep them busy in their field of interest. Its better to provide them opportunities to be busy in some activity rather in leisure keep thinking negatively. Art and drawing is best way that they can transfer their thoughts on canvas. Poetry and storey books are another good way to keep them busy. Its also good to arrange a nice movie and you should watch with your child. You can also take them to picnic. Ask your child to plan about it. He/she will surely like to do it. 
4. You should also keep an eye on your children's friends. Like what kind of friends he/she has and what do they do. 
5. You should also visit your child's school and meet and discuss with their teacher about your child. 
6. If you see any issues with your child you can discuss with her/his teacher and ask for help. 
7. At this age, your child will also start thinking about his/her personality. You will observe that he/she is more keen towards his/her looks, clothing and fashion. You will find them more often in front of a mirror. You should not discourage this attitude, rather help them with making their appearance more attractive. 
8. You must pay attention to your child's diet. It should be a balanced diet that you give them. 
9. If you think that your child's issue is going beyond your control and you are helpless. You should immediately consult a psychologist for your child. They will obviously help you.
