Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents.At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them.Most teens work through this by the age of 16 or 17.
Often teenagers are treated like bigger children, but they will never become
and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves.If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it without permission anyway.The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and .
Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and .As a result, teenagers always keep their .from their parents.Teens often that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them.Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to
their side of any problem and express their point of view.
Thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents.Every parent should try to schedule time to be with their child, like taking a short trip together.This time allows parents to talk and listen without from work or other family members.It might also be good to encourage teens to important issues at dinner.Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives.

Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy when dealing with people.
My own son, who basically grew up with his grandmother, the original guru, has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not manners. So I asked him why. He said,” I behave the way I am supposed to when I’m out, but when I am at home I want to be .”
That’s when I realized that most parents, myself included, do their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also to believe that at home, anything goes.
My to him was “good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with”.
Then he answered, “But I behave when I’m with others so that they think better of me.” And that is when I realized that I was doing things all . I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This him even more.
So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday with people or at the dining table at home, is an of who you are. Well, at the age of 13, he got it.
So basically, what I am saying is that teaching your children comes with the underlying lesson that it is not about to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not ; it comes from within.
Teach your teens or children the courtesy of greeting their friends’ parents and
themselves when they go to someone’s home. Teach teenage boys to open the door of a car, or any door that matter, for any girl, whether they are their girlfriends or not. This includes holding elevator doors or letting women step out of the elevator first.
Just that teenage boys who practice good manners’ and courtesy grow up to become men who respect people in general.
