As a teenager, you may find it difficult to talk to your parents about your issues and concerns. Your friends will probably be more open to you than your parents, but they are still important. It's a great way for friends to support you in talking about a variety of topics. You may be uncomfortable talking to adults about your feelings and other topics that aren't directly related to your family. Below are some tips to help you communicate with your parents.
Do not text or check your phone while speaking to your parents
Whether you're talking to your parents in person or sending them a text message, avoid texting sensitive information. You should not borrow your parents' phone unless you have a legitimate reason to. It is common for parents to be a bit naive with technology so you should not ask them to lend their phone.
Saying 'I'm Sorry' loudly is not a good idea.
Try to think before speaking if you are guilty of something. As it may sound hollow and unsincere to say something out loud, you want to ensure you have considered the opinions of others. Imagine how your mom would feel if you were her, and take full responsibility for what you do.
Ask for their point of view
It's important to remember your parents are the most likely to listen to thoughtful suggestions when you talk to them about difficult topics. Avoid going into a conversation too emotionally charged to give your parents' point of view, and always explain your feelings and propose a reasonable solution. Before you talk to your parents, make sure to write down your thoughts. Next, go through the notes carefully and think about them before you begin to talk to your parents.
Send us information about you and your life
It is possible to share information about your family with your parents, especially if your parents are an alcoholic. This will help your parents understand what's going on in your personal life and allow you to make better choices. Don't feel pressured to tell them everything. You can share only what's safe and what you've done. This will help your parents to understand what their limits are. Your parents may not be able or willing to support your plans if they are alcoholics.
Ask for their assistance
There are several ways you can ask for your parents' support when talking to them about a difficult issue. The first thing is to make sure you have the time and space to talk to your parents. Find a quiet space with no distractions and no other people if possible. Once you have set a time to speak, call the person and inform them that you will be there. Prepare some topics and questions to discuss during this time.
FAQ
What is positive parenting?
Positive parenting styles help children become happy and well-adjusted adults. They teach them how to be constructively and positively receptive towards others.
They teach children how to cope with stress and conflict, resolve conflicts peacefully, and deal with disappointment.
Positive parenting also helps children learn self-discipline and responsibility. It teaches children how to take decisions and solve problems themselves.
They feel encouraged to take risks and explore new possibilities. They learn to work hard, and they succeed in their daily lives.
How can I tell my child if he or she needs more discipline?
Different levels of development mean that children require different amounts and types of discipline.
Your child may be able to benefit from spanking if he/she is young (under two years).
Your child may require more structure and guidance if he/she is older.
Before you make any significant changes to your parenting style, you should talk with your doctor about changes in your child’s behavior.
Which parenting style do you think is most appropriate in America today?
The traditional family isn't as popular today than it was 50 year ago, because of changes in families. The role of parents in raising children has become less important. They want to spend time on themselves instead of spending time with their kids. This is known as helicopter parenting. It's where parents hover around their children 24/7. They don't let them do anything without supervision. They ensure they eat right, exercise, sleep at night, etc. This type of parenting causes a lot stress for parents and kids. The kids feel like they're missing out, while the parents feel guilty that they're not there every day.
This parenting style doesn't teach children how to take good care of themselves. This kind of parenting encourages children to rely upon adults for everything. Parents are not teaching independence; they are teaching dependence. Children learn that they need adult help to succeed. Children learn that if they fail, they can blame themselves.
This can lead to children feeling worthless and inadequate. Because they failed to live up to their expectations, they believe they are failing. Because they didn't learn how to cope with failure, they lack self-confidence.
Another reason why this type of parenting isn't so popular anymore is that there are fewer two-parent households. When both parents work outside the home, it makes it harder for them to be available to their kids. Many parents find themselves raising their children alone.
Today, parents want happy and healthy children. Parents don't want children worrying about how they are sleeping, eating, or exercising. They want to live their own lives. They hire tutors, nannies and other caregivers to look after their children.
They don’t want any control over their child’s lives. They don't want their kids to think they can never make mistakes. They want them to learn from their mistakes and try again.
