It's all about youth and parents



There should be a structure in youngsters’ lives. For that they need love and trust. Parents are there to give them needed love and support. Their commitments toward the young people never change. It is an unconditional love between parents and children.We meet  many people during our life span and they can have important influence in our life but among them parents have the most important effect on our future. They are the only one who expect nothing in return!

Young people are more like to spend time with their parents. There is misinterpreting that youngsters have increased interest in friends as a disinterest in the family. But it is not true. For them there is no place like home. They may find friends for themselves, but in reality parents are the best friends for them. Because parents will never let them down, will be there for needy times, and especially never break the trust. They would like to spend more time doing things with their parents. Watching TV does not count as spending time together, there should be any possible ways to be with youngsters and accompanying them frequently.

It is good to talk with teens about his/her interests and concerns. Parents show genuine interest in what is happening. Parents give full attention to the talk, respond to statements, and never interrupt. Some parents  share their feelings and concerns with their young children and let them to look at  their world and it is a sign of good parenting. Because, it helps the children to understand their parents and eventually parents will become their role models.

The most important things are, parents trust their young children and treat them with respect. There is a bad notion about youngsters. The society tries to condemn teens and only talk about their ill. That is not good! However, in a situation like that, parents are the only one stand for us ! They give respect and value for their children as  they are the masters of future!

Parents are more supportive to teens. It helps them to overcome from problems where they cannot solve them alone. They lend their hands to overcome from problems through their advices, guide and support.

 Young people have desire and need to establish independence. They want to make their own decisions and choices. At the same time, they may feel hurt if the parent does not show any interest in what they are thinking and doing.

Here are some facts that youngster are expected from parents:

  • Allow them to become more independent.
  • Be tolerant, but do not be overly permissive.
  • Have reasonable rules. Be ready to readjust your rules for special circumstances.
  • Have an open mind. Be patient.
  • Be interested in their lives, but respect their privacy.
  • Be there when your teenager needs you. Give advice when asked but do not lecture
