Expecting Children To Do What You Say And Not What You Do - Or Difficult Kid Rearing Moments

By Ulysses Juniper Xavier


It would take years to cover every aspect of parenting because there are just too many out there. You could start reading now and still not finish everything that's out there for the next decade. Being a good parent won't happen overnight, so we realize you need to start somewhere. People may not always read about parenting until they are already too busy with their children. Some of you will start reading now and be ready once your first child comes. Congratulations to those of you who take an interest early on!

Often there are important lessons for us as parents to understand. Yes, sometimes our kids help keep us honest, too, and it can be cute while maddening when it happens.

None of us can forget about our senior year in high school because we could finally see a taste of what was going to happen. Then it seemed like our last year with our friends was gone in a blink of an eye. So, you know what they are up against and what they are feeling. These are the times when you offer what you can in terms of supportive advice and perhaps just listening and being there. Being encouraging is a good thing, no matter how many times it must be offered. Just take a close look at how well your child is dealing with the impending end of the high school and family road. Then continue to use your parenting skills in the best way that you know how. We know that everything will be okay.

There is nothing worst for a parent than when their teenagers think that they can criticize their own parents. When this first happens it is entirely understandable if the parent is not enamored with it. Obviously, the topic and how it was presented might matter. However, you must realize that teens are always inclined to break away from their parents and family. In addition, teens have to think that what they think and feel really matters, even if we disagree with them.

You can make your teens more responsible by giving them things around the house to do. Obviously, we are talking about both the tween and the teenage years. Chances are both parents work, and single parents almost have to do this just to get some help. But we suggest this because it will help them learn they need to help the home team. Yes, their family needs them. You should tell them why this is done and what you expect them to learn from it. People have a much greater tendency toward cooperation if they are given the reason why and it makes sense to them. Being a parent is hard and even more with teenagers, but it is imperative that you are diligent about introducing new thoughts. All children are different and will learn behaviors in various ways.

Numerous professionals agree that having a pleasurable vehicle to drive in can benefit family interactions. If you want to enjoy yourself whenever traveling around with the children, you will want a Jeep Wrangler. Check your local dealership for more information.
