ADVICES FOR PARENTS

Advices for parents 

Hi!!!

This is addressed to the parents of today who are going thought the adolescence stage with their children.  This topic is very important and therefore should be a way in which parents can provide support to their children who are going through difficult times.

Most of the time when a teenager is going through difficult times parents do not realize what is really happening with their children, they are not aware of their child's life, this is where you can realize that there are friends, acquaintances or other people who know more about your child, than yourself as a parent. 

1. LISTEN TO YOUR CHILDREN

My first advice I can give to parents is to always listen to their children, and no matter how small the problem is, they should always listen and above all support them.

Children should always see their parents as a figure in which they should feel safe and above all, they should see them as an unconditional support. Teenagers want to know that their parents are looking out for them, because they want their parents to be there no matter what. 

Although with this, parents should also know how to advise their children and if they are doing something wrong, they can help them, tell them what they should do or what they should change and take the necessary measures. 

2. DO NOT SET LIMITS OR RULES FOR YOUR CHILDREN THAT YOU AS A PARENT CANNOT FOLLOW. 

This happens very often, when you scold your children, you always set limits, you always scold them, you punish them, for things that your children always do and that may bother you, but the bad thing is not that you are telling them that it is wrong, the bad things is that you as a parent do not set the example. Try to make sure that everything you tell them is the same thing you do, so don't tell your child not to do something if you do it.

For example, when you tell your child that he can't eat with his cell phone on the table, but you as a parent do it. 

3. REPRESSING EMOTIONS

The most common mistake parents make is that even if teenagers express the way hey feel, or express their emotions, parents take it lightly and see it as an insignificant issue, they see it as if the teenager is just playing, but in reality it is not, because that issue that for parents can be very simple or silly, for that teenager it can be very difficult to cope and even more if they do not have the necessary support, since the greatest support a teenager can have is that of their parents. By repressing emotions, the only thing they do is that the adolescent does not express what he/she really feels and may end up in greater circumstances. 

                            

What do you think about the support and limits that your parents give you?
