HOW CAN AN ADULD HELP TEENAGERS COPE WITH ADAPTING CHANGE IN TRANSITIONS
Answers
Teenage or Adolescence is the age when a child is in transition to becoming an adult. It is an age which is very challenging for both the teenager as well as parents. However, adults who are caregivers can help the teenagers cope with the transition better by being patient and caring. The following are some steps they can followed:
a) Adults should remind themselves that hormones play an important role in the behavioral changes and mood swings in teenagers.
b) Teenagers sometimes respond rudely during conversations. Adults should not react with the same tone as most of the times, the teenager does not mean to be rude. Teach them gently to tone their voice down and to breathe easy
c) Send them for yoga or meditation classes to help them to be calm.
d) Destress them by showing lot of love and affection. Hugging your teenager to show your love can help them stay calm.
e) Don't judge them when they don't do well in academics or extra-curricular activities. They will learn gradually.
Each child is different. So understand the teenager before you help them.
