Parents and Teens Identified as Extremely Helpful
August 24, 2008 parenting teenagers No CommentsAs a teenager what was more important and priorities to you? Or having boyfriend/girlfriend or getting into a good college? I think was more concerned about getting into a good college in preparation for future career. It will not hurt to be serious and have a fun at the same time whiles you’re still a teenager. It’s just a matter of knowing which to rank.
So, getting into good college is important. If we get good college we shall make our life settled in a good way, we will be in a good position, later there is no need of thinking about good boyfriend or girlfriend.
And the first thing to do the best of our life is be a good man and success. So, chose and more important of our life is good college. Is it true that girlfriend/boyfriend can get to be good man and success? But before that, teens or parents must have identified as extremely helpful.
Parents it’s your job to improve and teach your teen or kids see these issues, pointing them out and helping her make any necessary adjustments.
The important lesson required for teens to consider is that ‘what you do in high school has consequences for your future’s. It just means that the teenager who sees high school as an important step to him/her future will seriously consider him/her part in it. It’s an important job for parents, helping teens find their niche in the world. Career assessments also plan future is an important part of that process.
Most high schools have the career programs in place for teens. Always check and monitoring to see if your school has these tools and encourage your teenager to use them. Because it’s an important part to plan your teenager future.Think about it, our teen had an idea about what major he/she wanted to choose in college. Maybe sometimes she/he doesn’t like that. But, it doesn’t matter. It was the process of self-discovery that held the most value.
When I went to college, I was not ready. I was ready academically, I was ready financially, however I was not ready emotionally. Because this, I struggled tremendously my first semester and missed a lot my college had to offer.
You can see this same phenomena today on college campuses as emotionally-unprepared freshmen isolate themselves, indulge in irresponsible and inappropriate behavior or worse. I took this lesson to heart and have been intentional with each of my children prepping them for the emotional challenges they will face once they leave home.
While there are several parts to this goal, at some point this has involved empowering them with the ability to be away from home comfortably. I’ve accomplished this by using summer jobs in other places and long visits to relatives in other states.
This has often involved tears. That is ok. Since the child is safe and secure, discovering they can overcome homesickness on their own is a powerful tool for their future and one that they need *before* they leave for college.
While these are only a few piece of the parenting teenagers’ puzzle, they are important pieces. Let your teen know you want to help her get ready for her future. Show her how to instill confidence in her ability to make decisions about her life, as well as make changes when necessary. As a parent of a teen, keeping your focus on these areas will help you intentionally guide your teen forward towards their bright and promising future.
