Parents – if they want to maintain a healthy relationship with their teens –
must rethink their personal values, question their own authority and even
reexamine their own unresolved childhood issues with new intensity. Parents should take time each day to see their teen as an amazing and precious human
being. Accept and appreciate the beauty of what is, even when it is not always
pretty. Parents should treat their child as if this were their last day on earth. Parents should respect themselves and the child. They should provide appropriate boundaries and limits,
and allow for natural and logical consequences. Parents need to set their child up for success and
not failure. They should definitely plan ahead for the success of their child. While maintaining their role as the parent,
they should treat the teen the way that they would want to be treated. They should be honest, rational and
proactive. All of their parenting should seek to
build self-esteem. Parents shouldn't be judgmental towards their child. They should faith in positive outcomes for them. Parents should allow teens to take safe risks and make their
own mistakes. Because if not then the child won't learn anything from their mistakes. Parent's also shouldn't over-involve themselves in their teen's life. Although they
raised their teen, the teen is not theirs. Teens have their own paths to follow.
