3 Mistakes To Avoid When Parenting Teens

Parents, ๐Ÿ‘‹ We have all made mistakes as parents and we will continue to make mistakes (because we are human and thatโ€™s what humans do ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ). Though weโ€™ve made mistakes and will probably make moreโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ’Ž Here are 3 Mistakes to avoid when parenting teens:
1๏ธโƒฃ Take Things Personally – Itโ€™s important to not take what your teenager says or how they behave toward you personally. Remember during this time they are hormonal due to puberty. This doesnโ€™t justify any inappropriate behavior or disrespect. The best course of action is to let the situation cool down and have a conversation about what happened and how it made you feel.
2๏ธโƒฃ Having Unrealistic Expectations – As parents we expect our teens to be carefree and full of life because that is what being a teenager is โ€œsupposedโ€ to be all about ๐Ÿ˜‚However, this is an unrealistic expectation of teens. It is a realistic expectation to expect teenagers to be moody and a bit distant.
3๏ธโƒฃ Talking Too Much – Parents it cannot be said enough that listening to your teen is very powerful. When your child is a teen, it is important to listen and not try and jump in with solutions and lectures. ๐Ÿ‘€
Parenting teenagers can be very difficult but we hope these tips help. Do you have any mistakes parents of teens should avoid? Leave a tip or a comment below. ๐Ÿ‘‡
