PARENTING
If you frequently feel “betrayed” by your child’s actions, you may have unreasonable expectations. As the children’s environments influence their attitude, you may alter their actions by changing the environment.
As your child grows older, you need to adjust your parenting style. Similarly, what works now with your child may no longer work in a year or two. Teens are more likely to seek out their friends as role models than their parents.
However, while enabling your teen to gain more independence, continue to provide advice, encouragement, and necessary correction. And make the most of every occasion to connect!
