Thinking about your parent teenager relationship are you ready to explode because of the way you get treated? Or have you gone beyond such feelings and now find yourself sad and withdrawn?
Whatever your circumstance, take a few moments to reflect on five possible reasons why your teenager's middle name seems to be "attitude".
By reflecting on these possible reasons you can make an effort to "walk a mile in their moccasins" and turn what may feel like a descending nightmare into a positive exercise that has the potential to transform your parent teenager relationship.
1. Your Teen's Hormone Factory Is Bursting At The Seams.
With a body that seems like a joke, compared to the ideal bodies paraded on television, your teenager is most likely struggling with a poor self image.
2. Guilt Feelings Associated With Breaking Rules.
Growing up as a teenager, the cool thing to do was to break the rules. Your teenager may be in the same head space right now. Since all teens have a still small voice within called a "conscience", they naturally come to feel guilty when they do break the rules. This creates an upheaval in their emotional world.
3. No Meaningful Direction Or Purpose In Life.
How many teenagers do you know, who if asked: "What is the purpose of your life?" could answer immediately and with passion? The typical response of so many teenagers is: "I don't know".
4. Fear Of Falling Short Of The Mark.
Many surveys reveal that so many teenagers feel pressure to succeed. They are constantly bombarded with phrases like "if you don't do well at school, you will end up on the scrap heap". Tragically, it is typical that when a teenager decides that they will probably fail, they experience lowered self esteem, anxiety and mood swings. It has been reported that teenagers sometimes purposely decide to not even try so as to protect their hearts from emotional pain should they fail.
5. Your Teenager Is Currently Suffering from Clinical Or Situational Depression As A Result Of One Or All Of The Above.
If your teenager always seems to be angry and reactive, there are reasons that may not be apparent. As a parent, your job is to listen to what they are going through on the inside. By doing so, you can assist them as they transition through a critical time in their life.
In this way, your parent teenager relationship can be a blessing rather than a curse.
