As children edge closer to becoming teenagers, it can bring up avast array of fears and questions for parents. Let’s see what you can do to prepare.
PREPARING YOUR CHILD FOR THEIR TEENAGE YEARS

Aside from some troubled times with toddlers, the teenage years are renowned for being the most challenging stage of raising a child. For parents and children alike, this can be a turbulent time filled with changes, arguments and general disharmony.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be this way though, and there are steps you can take to make the whole situation easier. One fear in particular that many parents of teenagers experience is that their teen will sense that they are unsure how to proceed with parenting. This lack of certainty can bring about instability and put real pressure on positive family dynamics. A proactive approach in order to prepare for the upcoming challenges is advisable. Every household will experience an adjustment and settling period at the very least, due in no small part to the massive hormonal changes the child is going through. Let’s take a look at what you can do to ferry your family safely across the choppy waters of this developmental stage.

START WITH THE BASICS 

While they’re far from adults, teenagers aren’t the same as younger children. They are more capable, seasoned and hungry for new experiences. Trying to treat them exactly the same as a younger child will often lead to friction. It’s natural for teens to try to push the boundaries of what you will allow. In fact, this is a healthy part of their development.

Don’t dissolve all of the rules, simply expand them to suit the kind of life that teenagers live. They will want to socialise and they’re entitled to do that. Sit down with them and agree on core rules such as how long they can stay out with their friends and where they can go. Try not to just present these updated rules to your child without their input, as they’re more likely to bend, break or even outright reject them.
