Teen problems are much more than frayed skirt hems and tattered jeans. This is about style but actually teenagers are just trying to understand their sudden spurt of creativity. Biologically too, it’s a time for hormones. They have mixed feelings about their goals, sudden interest in the opposite sex and all this seems puzzling. Many parents are not able to relate as they had a different phase of childhood.

Our children are more aware and open to change. Circumstances now are more progressive and we also want our progeny to have the right mix of culture, modernity, academics and extra curricular activity. Acutely exposure is the keen issue. Once children understand their rules then discipline need not actually be told to them. Its inculcation for teens and a great learning phase for parents too.

They love experimenting and talent is also noticed during teen time. Metros usually have summer camps which are also a great way to channeslise their free time and energy. Expending their mental conflict and resurging their physical energies is one way to keep them busy. They all love to cook, clean and dress well. And all we want is the Best for our child.

Please do write in with your experiences in dealing with your adolescent child.

Teenage love is growing rampantly in India. This is because of the strong influences of the western culture and new ways of the modern youth of the country. Most of the school students think that they are in love. They believe that they are made for each other and this love takes on heights when it starts affecting their studies and disturbs their life. Irrespective of what parents think, teens want to rebel at every step and think that their parents are their biggest enemies. At such times, neither forceful actions work nor kind words of advice work! So what should parents do when they realize that their teen is in ‘love’?

Teens at this stage do not want to see the harsh realities of life. They want to live in their own dreamy world where everything is glittering golden. One thing that parents should accept is that it is very natural for teens at this age to get attracted to the opposite sex. Tender hearts want to believe that their actual infatuation is their true love of the life and add to this is the dreamy image that teens have in their mind with the Bollywood love stories that they have grown up to which re-instill stereotypical perceptions in them.

Sometimes, I have seen that it is difficult for parents to understand these things. They cannot be patent and often undertake measures like locking up the child in the room, spanking them, not giving them food, threatening their friends of the opposite sex not to talk to their son/daughter etc. All this should be strictly avoided.

Tell your child to be patient and keep telling them repeatedly not to take any actions until they grow up. Tell them that they are definitely independent to choose their partners but also throw light upon the kind of responsibilities one has to deal with. Tell them to give time to their relationship and see if it can withstand the test of time.

Be practical in your arguments. If you simply tell your daughter that you are not suppose to talk to the guy she loves. There is no doubt in guessing that she is going to revolt. One question that will force her to do this is ‘why?’ As a parent it is important that you point out the practical differences in the lifestyle, and in other areas. Tell him or her that they may not be able to cope with situations as both have different outlook and way of life.

Stress on importance of financial security and how they shouldn’t just build castles in air. Also let them know that you are not their enemy but only their friend and that they can come and share with you anything under the sun.

All said and done, let’s face it. Infatuation is a part and a parcel of every teenager’s life and you really shouldn’t over protect your child. If it is natural, let it happen but remember to keep the bonding and communication open and keep your child cautious all the time.

Teens are going through a certain sense of freedom which also brings with it a lot of insecurity. This means they like the enjoyment in the freedom but are bogged when they have to accept responsibilities. Just as we make our five year old independent to tie their shoe laces, teens must also have chores assigned to them. Single children are often over protected and actually spoon fed very innocently by their parents. This makes teen parenting very difficult.

It is a phase in life and they find solace in the company of their friends. As a parent it is good to be sympathetic but they must be a taught to respect you and identify virtues. Get them to trust you and be nice to their friends. If you feel a particular association is unhealthy for them, then be frank in your opinion. Many teens are now facing a crisis to deal with general life and indulge in fashion statements to prove their point. It is nice to have trendy accessories but their focus on skills and academics have to be maintained at all times.

Troubled teens often go on over eating especially as comfort foods in the junk variety gives them a certain amount of assurance. They pile up kilos which again lowers their self esteem. Let them associate in a group activity or a club and encourage them for treks or a particular sport. If you find their grades dropping or having a sudden penchant for dieting then the matter needs your intervention.

A bit of love does smooth the tensions of the bond and yet parenting teens is another phase in life.

Breakfast, as it is said is the most important meal of the day. Make sure your child doesn’t skip his breakfast. Along with his usual breakfast, include fruit juice and cereals to increase the level of nutrition.

Ensure that enough dairy products are included in your child’s meal as they provide calcium to the body. Calcium is very important to make the bones stronger. Athletic children should consume dairy products atleast thrice a day. Besides, they should have nutritional snacks at short intervals. This would build their stamina.

For lunch and dinner, you should include foods high on protein and carbohydrate. Protein is essential for the growth of the body. Foods high on protein include meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products, seafood and for the vegetarians, legumes. Carbohydrates are essential for providing energy to the body. Foods containing carbohydrates include bread, cereals, fruits, vegetables with starch and legumes.

A huge amount of liquid intake is necessary for athletic children. Water and sports drinks are the best options. Sports drinks also provide carbohydrates and electrolytes which provide energy to the muscles. Besides, the taste of these drinks is pleasant which is an added advantage and children do not fuss about consuming them.

Athletic children need to be high on energy and stamina. They need to be on the go always and hence it is very important for their parents to feed them well and appropriately. Intake of foods like cereals, vegetables, fruits, milk and other dairy products, meat and legumes is a must. They include all the necessary nutrients.

Second important thing for parents should be to maintain a balanced diet for the obese teenager. No point pushing them on a crash diet without any qualified consultation. Do it in a subtle way. Like cutting down on sweets or junk food should be done in a proper way. Don’t make it a big fuss. Parents should also lead by example. They can’t just munch on oily foods themselves and ask kid to eat boiled food. Do not tempt the teenager. Parent’s themselves should follow a strict eating schedule. This will serve as a example for the kids. If parents are health conscious then children are bound to learn this art as well. Physical fitness should be a priority for whole family and not just for obese teenager.

Finally, encourage the child to play sports or join a gym. Make sure they don’t leave sport or health club mid way. Inspire them and keep motivating them by setting precedent.

Firstly, it is very important to set a routine, like a time-table set up scheduled according to the exams. If children are taught to follow a routine, they will remember it throughout their life and will easily meet challenges in life. Secondly, research proves that furniture affects concentration. A study table should be provided to the child so that he can sit upright. While lying down, a child can’t concentrate as much and starts feeling sleepy.

According to experts, there should be a break after every 45 minutes of studying. The mind needs a minimum of ten minutes rest after an hour of concentration. Some children prefer studying early morning and the others at night. Parents should let them study whenever they want to.

By reducing distractions, like switching off the television while your child is studying or hanging up the phone if he is getting disturbed would also help him concentrate more. Moreover, meals play an important role in increasing the attention span of children. Make sure that your child is not skipping meals due to the stress of exams. Also, avoid letting him consume heavy food as it tends to make the child languid and lazy. Milk and nuts strengthen the concentration power and increase the attention span.

Most importantly, exam material preparations shouldn’t be left for the last minute. For example, pencils, pens and other stationery should be in place. Uniform or the desired outfit for the day of the exam should be ironed and ready to pull on. All these little things help decrease stress and increase concentration power.

These basic things should be kept in mind by every parent to help their children focus better and feel confident. Encouraging children to do better boosts their self-esteem and makes them feel positive and upbeat.
