Transition From Childhood To Adulthood

Parents! ๐Ÿ‘‹ We know that raising a teen can be very difficult. One of the reasons this can challenging is theyโ€™re 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:
โžก๏ธActively listen to our teens
โžก๏ธGive space for their differing opinions
โžก๏ธ Keep our commitments to them
โžก๏ธ Apologize when we are wrong
โžก๏ธ Make it safe for them to say “no.”
โžก๏ธ Ask questions about their opinions
โžก๏ธ Fight for them to be themselves
โžก๏ธ Respect ourselves
โžก๏ธ Praise them more than you criticize
โžก๏ธ Invite instead of demandโ โ
