Welcome to your 6 week course
Welcome to parenting teenagers. Parenting Teenagers can be your pride and joy at times and sometimes a real pain. My name is Dr Stem and my role is to help you bridge the gap. You will be receiving six videos where we will be taking a good look at barriers that make it even more challenging to parent teenagers. The videos will cover Tweaking Your Parental Approach; a look at Your Parental Expectations , Balancing work and parenting, Choosing your battles; Ignoring the Big Stuff and Discipline-Finding a Balance. After the six weeks my goal is to help you minimize these barriers and ease your parental stress while you communicate much easier with your teen.
Video 1 - Tweaking Your Parenting Approach
Teenagers hate it when you treat them like they are still babies or younger children. The truth is they are no longer babies. They're a teen, or a tween –which means it is time to tweak your parenting skills to keep up with them. Yes, they're probably moodier now they need curfews, they’re dating, driving and have friends who make you raise your eyebrows. They will test your limits, lie, test your patience and not listen or do what you ask of them. Even though they are no longer babies they are still your child. And, although they won't admit it, they still need you! This week have a talk with your teen and ask what do you think I need to change as a parent of a teenager and go to town, allow them to share with you freely their opinion and tweak it.
