Build a bond with your teen

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 10 Januari 2015 | 18.47

Connecting with their teenage kid is probably one of the most difficult tasks parents face. A teenager goes through several phases in his/her growing up years -hormonal changes, stress to fit into the society circle, romance and the pressure to stay with the times. If you want your teen to confide in you, forging a strong bond with him or her is important. Here's how you can befriend your teen.

DON'T BE A LECTURER

One of the things that youngsters dread the most is listening to lectures from their parents.The last thing they want to hear is a sermon from them on what's right for them and what's not. Yogita Basu, a lec turer and mother to a 15-yearold, says, "I stopped preaching to my daughter. When she turned 13, I sat her down and told her the temptations that she may come across and that she must choose wisely . I also assured her I was with her if she needed help. But I made it a point to not tell her every single day what she can't do. Now, my daughter treats me more like a friend than a mother."

DO ACTIVITIES TOGETHER

Little things like cooking, cleaning or playing a game of tennis with your teen can help them forge a strong bond with you. Shaukut M, a first year undergrad student says, "I started playing basketball with my father after I found out he led the team in his college. He gives me tips and teaches me tricks to score a game. I feel close to my father these days."

BUT, GIVE THEM SPACE

Because you've found interests that are common with your kid does not mean you've to always hover around himher. Give them their space and stop crowding around them. Give them a room of their own and allow them to pursue their hobbiesinterests. If your teen wants to go catch a movie or go for a night out with with hisher friends, don't stop them. The more you try to control their lives, the farther they will move away from you.
