You might be asking, how do I effectively engage with my teens? We got you covered! Here are 3 great ways you can engage as a parent.šā£
ā£
1ļøā£. šš¢š³š¦šÆšµš¢š šš°šÆšŖšµš°š³šŖšÆšØ – Teens whose parents know where they are and the people they are with are less likely to get caught up in the wrong crowd or put in unsafe situations. Remember the difference between monitoring vs. controlling, though. ā£
ā£
2ļøā£. šš¢š³š¦šÆšµ šµš° šš„š°šš¦š“š¤š¦šÆšµ šš°š®š®š¶šÆšŖš¤š¢šµšŖš°šÆ – Teens who have talked with their parents about sex are more likely to delay having sex, and to practice safe sex when doing so. And those who have had conversations on substance abuse and drugs, are far more likely to stay away from them. ā£
ā£
3ļøā£. šš¢š®šŖššŗ šš°šÆšÆš¦š¤šµš¦š„šÆš¦š“š“ – Teens who have close, stable relationships with their parents are more likely to come to them with a problem. These topics often times include: sex, alcohol, drugs, and peer pressure. Being connected to your teen helps them feel safe and heard when talking about their feelings and issues. ā£
ā£
Being a teen or young adult is possibly one of the most difficult, confusing times in a personās life. As parents, we need to make sure our children are educated, and feel safe talking to us about these uncomfortable topics. ā£
