Positive Parenting Teenagers
Parents need to realize the changes in teenager’s life; emotional, intellectual & spiritual. When parents give responsibility to their teens and let them make decision in life, it means you are giving enough space to them to develop productively while standing by them to help.


Parenting teens today is challenging as teenagers also face challenges physically, emotionally, and mentally. Positive parenting makes parents realize that although it is tough, yet effective, rewarding and enjoyable. It’s all about how you raise your teenagers with understanding, love and trust.


In the drudgery of daily routine, parents complain about time constraints so that they can spend with their teens. But remember your presence and time with your teen will help them gain trust and confidence in you and similarly helps to develop a good self esteem. So spare time; weekends are best to spend along with your teens and make that time fun, enjoyable and productive.


What ever parents show in terms of their actions, behaviors, emotions and by advices, it will directly pass onto your teens. In other words you are the first and foremost role models for them and your positive behavior/attitudes are followed.


Show your deep love and affection by valuing your teen; such as help them out in their studies tasks, problems they face. Allow them to learn from their mistakes but don’t scold or discourage them.


Effective parenting also involves disciplining the teens. Promote good behaviors, encourage teens on self-reliance, self-responsibility and self-control. Strengthen these by careful judgments not only from parenting perspective but also considering their abilities and capabilities.


Involve in the fun activities with your teenagers and be part of it and not just literally, by doing some of the stuffs that are of teen’s interests. Let them realize that you also value their interests and likings.

With a positive and healthy approach you can achieve positive results from your teens as you are firm, kind and loving in parenting your teens.
