Preparing Your Kids For Adolescence
Toddlers to Pre-Teens

Solid preparation set in early childhood is ‘paying forward’ in preparing for adolescence. Setting strong values for the family and establishing consistent consequences for negative and unacceptable behavior in the early years will mean that there is less likelihood of your teenagers rebelling.  Building active and mature communication with your young children will generally ensure open communication with your adolescents.  Creating a sense of responsibility, and developing an outward focus, will lessen (but not eliminate) the effects of selfishness (It’s all about me!) in their teenage years.  Most parents remember their own teenage years and enter the parent/teenager phase with some dread.

 

It doesn’t have to be a battle.  It can be a very rewarding experience seeing your teenagers develop their own personality and grow into fine young adults. This topic is very popular because parents want answers.  You will get the answers, but be prepared to undertake some changing yourself.  Parents with very young children should be in on this course, as early preparation is where it starts.
