Struggling to make your Teen Responsible?

Struggling to make your Teen Responsible?

If you are finding it hard to teach responsibility to your teen, then you are not a good parent!!

Well, This is what you will get to hear from your relatives and others. But don’t let that get to you. What do they know, the joys of parenting teenagers – the eye rolls, the sighs, the constant battle to instill responsibility. The modern era presents unique challenges, with distractions aplenty and peer influence reigning strong. This struggle can leave parents feeling exasperated and bewildered.

It's like trying to teach a cat to do tricks: challenging, often futile, but occasionally rewarding. But fear not, fellow parental pioneers, for navigating this treacherous terrain can be made slightly less perilous with a few handy tricks up your sleeve.

However, there are strategies to address this issue:

  • Lead by Example: Show them what responsibility looks like by being a shining beacon of adulting prowess yourself (even if you still Google "how to adult" from time to time ??).
  • Give Them Ownership: Let them take charge of tasks and decisions, even if it means the laundry comes out pink once in a while.
  • Consequences, Kids: Allow natural consequences to do the talking. Could not pack what they had asked for lunch? Guess they'll learn to accept the packed food.
  • Communication is Key: Talk to them about responsibility in a way that doesn't induce instant eye-rolling.

Remember, parenting teenagers is like trying to herd cats – it's chaotic, messy, and occasionally scratches you. But with patience, humor, and a lot of coffee, you might just emerge victorious. Good luck, brave souls!
