Growing up, I can still remember how my mum use to shout out our names. Now that I am an adult, after reflecting on some of the things I did during my teen, it startled me to find out that a lot has changed about me.

Most teenagers seem to see the world in a slightly different view from what they have been told during their early years.

In addition, the fast development of their physiology seems to create a lot of pressure on them.

This does not also exclude the over-exposure of this age group to the media which has been hyped in all dimensions.

This may be the reason why your boy of yesterday has become more of a challenge to you today.

Some ways that you can get around this period in parenting includes

  1. Make communication your number priority. Falling short of understanding your teenager might create friction between you and your teenager.
  2. Be patient with them.
  3. Draw closer to them. In other words, make your teenage child your friend.

What other things do you think could help parents to easily have a good time during the care of their teenage children?
