Teenagers??!!

Well, one hears 'teenager' and thinks 'gosh, teenager, yes....no wonder. There is quick help in dealing with teenagers, using your common sense, because ultimately common sense and psychology together have produced some key tips, which are said to help 'survive' dealing with teenagers. Surely, they can be demanding, but at the same time inspiring, energizing and just down-right wonderful. My daughter is, at the age of 13. I could have 10 of them now....anyway, 5 good tips are those:
1. Listen actively by acknowledging what they are saying and empathising with them and their feelings that come with it.
2. Acknowledge their anger and frustration in particular; sometimes they cannot quite identify frustration as such.
3. Keep bonding by doing special things together, and alone, just the two of you.
4. Keep reminding them of rules and stick to appropriate boundaries; they may not like it, but certainly respect it.
5. Reins shall be loosened; negotiation may help to do it gradually.
6. As parents, embrace new technology by sending texts or communication via social networking sites.
