Parenting

What are the challenges that parents face while talking to their teenagers? Teenagers sometimes live in their own bubble and at this stage, the parents face a lot of problems to deal with their emotional trauma and changing demands. The parents are sometimes confused and feel helpless to even talk to their teenage kids in a holistic manner. The following points highlight some of the challenges parents face in conversation with their teenage child: 1. Friends are considered more important At this age, the family seems to be an alien social institution for the kids as they wish to spend more time with their peers. Hence, they tend to consider their friends' views and suggestions rather than their parents. They also give into peer pressure due to this reason. Hence, the parents find it difficult to establish that connection with the kids. 2. Advice is considered as criticism There is also a tendency of the teenage children to consider any advice by their parents as criticism an...

Implications and features are: • to maintain the overall quality of life; • to maintain continuing access to natural resources; • to avoid lasting environmental damage; • to consider as sustainable a development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the abil...
