Transition From Childhood To Adulthood
Parents! ๐ We know that raising a teen can be very difficult. One of the reasons this can challenging is theyโre in transitional phase. Adolescence is the transition from childhood to adulthood.
Though they are not adults just yet if we begin to interact with them and engage with them as such well save ourselves from a lot of stress.
One of the ways to treat them like an adult is to show them respect. It’s essential to find that balance between letting your teenager have their independence and still feeling connected to them.
Here are some ideas:
โก๏ธActively listen to our teens
โก๏ธGive space for their differing opinions
โก๏ธ Keep our commitments to them
โก๏ธ Apologize when we are wrong
โก๏ธ Make it safe for them to say “no.”
โก๏ธ Ask questions about their opinions
โก๏ธ Fight for them to be themselves
โก๏ธ Respect ourselves
โก๏ธ Praise them more than you criticize
โก๏ธ Invite instead of demandโ โ
