Teenagers growing up often experience the most difficult and stressful times in their lives. Parenting during this time is not fun because of the emotional stress and bodily changes that your kids are experiencing. Handling these difficult years can be hard, but it is all part of the natural process of growing up. This is not to say that the teenage years are not full of bright and shiny moments. Often times, they will look back at their years in high school and see them as the best times of their life. For others, high school is one of their most awful memories because of certain people that made their lives miserable.
Children should never be put in the middle of a full-blown argument between the parents. This is very bad for children, for any number of reasons. Children are usually pretty perceptive of what is going on between their parents and have a way of blaming themselves for the arguing. Parents think they are hiding problems from their children, but the tension is usually easily perceived. Constructive resolution of a problem can turn a difficult issue into a great learning opportunity. There is so much teaching on conflict resolution, that it would be nice to see families putting it into practice for the good of the children.
To see how children are going to be like, just look at the parents. Children learn pretty early how each parent reacts to situations, so they know how to work them against each other. Since children tend to mimic or emulate the only thing they have been exposed to, it makes sense that some of your behaviors are passed right along to them.
Having parents who are always setting a positive example, is better than most children ever get. People learn from making mistakes, and that is what should happen during times when things get out of control. Children usually only have a problem with a situation that gets out of control, when it is something that regularly happens.
Some parents, if not many, find themselves in a position where their child develops personality traits that the parent does not really like. You might be surprised, or you may not be, but either way change is a constant and is something that you will have to deal with. Sometimes it gets so bad that many parents don't even like their kids once they have reached an adult age. If you suddenly realize your growing child has natural personality traits that present a challenge for you, we urge you to be accepting of it. As long as you love your kids, you will be able to cope with these changes and, in the end, continue to love them as well.
If you are a truly positive parent, and very concerned about your child at school, do your best to be as aware as possible of what is going on in their life and help them out if you can. The best way to make sure everything goes smoothly is to be a positive role model and have great communication.
