3 Questions Parents Shouldn't Ask Their Teenager

10.12.2024 03:30

Teenage children often exhibit less than ideal behavior.

Rudeness, irritability and disobedience are explained by hormonal and psychological changes.

During this period, parents should not be angry with their child. They should try to understand their son or daughter.

In addition, it is advisable not to aggravate the situation.

Unfortunately, many mothers and fathers ask their teenage children unnecessary questions almost every day.

"Were you bullied today?"

Of course, parents want to know whether their child is experiencing problems communicating with peers.

However, you shouldn’t ask this question too often because it could cause a negative reaction from the teenager.

A boy or girl may well think that his/her parents consider him/her weak.

Or it may be that a teenager, who is generally treated normally, will start to constantly complain about “bad” teachers and classmates, blaming them for all his failures. As a result, the child may develop a habit of “looking for someone to blame.”

"Have you had any successes today?"

Don't demand daily results from your teenager.

Otherwise, the child will stop trying and become more irritable: "My previous achievements are of no interest to anyone anymore. But every mistake is remembered for a long time. Why then strain myself?"

"Why didn't you tidy up your room?"

Of course, a teenager needs to be made to strive for cleanliness.

But with constant reminders and eternal criticism you will not achieve any results.

It's better to set an example for your child. In this case, the boy or girl won't even have to be persuaded to clean their room.
