Valentine’s Day is celebrated
every year on February the 14th.
This day is celebrated to express love. For lovers it is the most important day
as they can express their deepest feelings to their loved ones. Love is the
most beautiful feeling in which our heart does the talking.Valentine's Day can be a great time to begin a new with your
teenager. Here are some ideas on how to share Valentines' Day with your
teenager
Many teenagers know that their parents love them, but may not hear it
enough. The teenage years can be filled with joys and frustration for all
involved. When conflict exists, a simple affirmation of your love can go a long
way with your teenager. Although there is nothing like the spoken word, a note
expressing your love for your teenager can also be meaningful.
It is no secret that
teenagers can be disrespectful to their parents. Yelling, talking back, and
even derogatory physical expressions are common ways they show disrespect. The
tempting part is to not reciprocate. Some common ways of showing respect can be
maintaining eye contact when talking, stopping what you are doing to listen to
what they are saying, and avoiding name calling when arguing with another
person.
Listening is so hard to do,
not just for parents and teenagers. In the rush of what we want to say, our
ears seem to take a backseat to our mouths. Yet, a person can feel very
validated when another person is taking the time to listen, not just hear them.
Try taking some steps to be
intentional on listening to your teenager. You know you are listening to the
other person when you are not thinking about what you are going to say next!
Teenagers would love nothing
more than to have complete freedom, without responsibilities, and no rules to
live by. Where do I sign up for that lifestyle!
Unfortunately, that is not
real life. As a parent, you do a big service to your teenager by holding the
accountable for their actions with reasonable consequences. It will teach them
responsibility and help them achieve the independence which they think they are
entitled.
One great way to keep
informed of what is happening with your teenager is to communicate with them.
Communication is simply an exchange of ideas between two people. It does not
mean there is an agreement. In fact, often there is a disagreement between the
two parties, yet they are able to discuss the matter in a calm, rational
manner.
Parenting a teenager is
difficult, and it can be a challenge to any sane rational human being. It
becomes easy for anger and resentment to set it. However, this only leads to
further disruption to your parent-child
relationship.
