My 'teen' is not a teen yet just 11, but I often feels like I'm dealing with a angsty teen! My biggest challenge is being interested in what they like (they love Roblox but to me, it's like my enemy) and also, getting them to like studying.... And also, another challenge is getting him to be kind and gracious to his younger siblings...

[@AlexRixon]

My 17-year-old is really nice when he is getting what he wants, and nobody expects anything from him. The moment you say no to him or ask for the bare minimum effort, he becomes abusive and aggressive. Our requests are very basic, be respectful to people and their belongings, clean up after yourself, and no aggressive behaviour or language. We occasionally have to withhold privileges like internet access, transportation, or other luxuries if he strays too far outside these lines. Unfortunately, that starts a heated power struggle.

[@kirstineconnors1427]

We have the same exact issue

[@AlexRixon]

@kirstineconnors1427 it is really hard. The only advice I have is not to let yourself get drawn into an argument. You are the parents, your job is to set boundaries and expectations, their job it to follow them. They don't have to agree or even like it, but they do need to find a way to do it.

[@amandazimmerman5128]

Practice practice everything you wanna say to your kid and how you would take it and ask others and look at videos until you find a way to both be happy with the outcome… The shitty part is parents have to do all the work especially when you didn’t get that kind of love when you were a kid or attention… It’s worth it put all the effort you can until you and your kid are both happy… Authentically happy, never stop till you have no question what that looks like. 🫶

[@tamilla8484]

Language - you can't expect them to be polite without cursing all the time. Rude words = frustration, anger, so on. Need to fix tge issue. Cursing is normal among teens, its just modern language. I got used to it.

[@tamilla8484]

Aggressive behavior can be different- throwing things - is the way to give away their anger - let them do it in some safe environment- maybe in their room without braking anything or hurting people around

[@rez_tu]

@@infiniteconsciousness.7 unfortunately some of that is true… it’s a dilemma. The need to become a parent is too great sometimes. But this world is not a good place to bring an innocent baby into it. It’s unethical to bring a baby and sentence them to live here for 100 years! Human experiment has gone wrong. It’s all suffering and it’s immoral to create more of this suffering.

So glad I found this. My teen just found out he didn’t make the high school freshman basketball team (while all his other close friends did). I saw times this summer when he could have been practicing, but chose to play video games instead. I hate that he hurts and now he wants to give up 🤷‍♂️ thus me searching the toob for helpful ideas. Thank you for posting this years ago- still relevant 👍

Discipline is crucial to motivate your teen My parents were strict And that’s why I am motivated to do things because if I dident I would loose my phone for a month When parents are going to discipline you they aren’t doing it to be mean they are doing it because they love you it took me awhile to learn this

[@SimplyAP714]

As a teen myself yes punishment is crucial but it is important that it fits the situation but often times it makes them angry including myself instead of just talking about the problem if not they become rebellious especially if you show the power over there say you threaten to kick them out they are going to want to leave feel unwanted like a black sheep and also feel distain towards the parent

[@justinh.6683]

​@@SimplyAP714thats fine. So youll be motivated to..... get a lisence, get a job, hopefully get an education to prove youre better than them and ultimately get the hell out of their house, instead of lounging aroind being an a-hole acting like they "owe" you something.

I am a tutor, and I see most of the kids have this problem. One of the reasons for this may be that they are depressed. Others are discouraged to even try, by their school teachers. Another reason is, many kids find it difficult to achieve, to perform on the level of the more talented students. They may try hard, but they still remain inferior to the best students. They need a lot of tact and care and philosophical attitude from their parents and teachers. Someone MUST tell them it's ok not to be No.1.

I've found it helpful to do stuff like 1) be sure to spend quality time w/ them away from a screen. some hobby. 2) admitting my faults to them, whether currently, or past faults; ways I've struggled like they do; admitting that I am certainly not perfect. 3) stay calm when challenged, rebelled against .. stay steady. 4) teach them in gentle ways that the world is way, way larger than just them. Take them on a trip somewhere, like an orphanage in a difficult part of the world, or something. I have much growing to do as a parent of teen.

[@mscraig5147]

The biggest problem Im currently facing with my almost 16 yr old son is disrespect of other people, their views, ideas, imperfections, mistakes. I feel it is stemming from insecurity and things but he stopped talking to me the past year and has had fits of rage. If he would open up more, I could support him thru this. This is a very challenging and touchy, delicate age and time.

Thank you! That’s very helpful. My biggest issue with my teen is he doesn’t see the importance of school/education although he is very smart. How do I get him to understand a good education is important for his future.

[@ДарьяСидорова-ъ7у]

Answer this question to yourself: why is work important? You go to work to get the money which will buy you anything you want. And you know that you'll be earning more money if you have a profession. This logic works for you, not for your child: no matter how hard he works, he gets no money reward. He only gets tired, for nothing. Your task is to arrange some paid work for him. A few months into it, and he'll get the idea of money and necessity of education.

And I have trouble waking them up in the morning for school. Two out of three kids do not like their school. One is on their way to graduation and the other one has four years of high school coming, so I’m not sure what to do or how to get them motivated to get up in the morning and get ready for class on time.

@Razan Alsharif Hi. I saw your question on here. So if you know what your son like most of the time, or what he is into, maybe you could ask him about that. Or help him look at what he finds most interesting on social media... because alot of times, you can see what someone likes by what they are looking at. Like some like to make videos, so they could develop a channel, as many do and make alot of money, especially if they like talking. Or if they like coding, or haircut videos or music etc. There are soo many parents that are going through these things.

[@ascoolas_ice]

It is always advisable to eat silently. In my house as well as during my hostel days, we were never allowed to talk while having food. the reason is that food might get into your lungs or even one can get chocked out of that. It is good that he stay silent at the family table. Moreover, when you engage in an conversation while having food, you are not paying attention to your food and thus, saliva secretion process does not initiate. This will again hamper the digestion. I don't know if there are some deep problems seeded within that act but if he is preferring to stay quite while eating, let him be.

My teenage girl has four falling subjects. I don't know how to get her to want I to try. Her dad calls her a failure and a looser . I don't know what to do about it.

I would find out which of these is the case: - she focuses and studies but can’t understand - she won’t study because she finds it hard to understand - she won’t study because she doesn’t care about her grades (that’s my child) - she won’t study because her environment is not right (home is noisy) - she won’t study because she’s hungry or in pain or sad

My teen son is not actively looking for a job, despite help from my husband and me. We have tried to show him how to go about it. He has gotten into a lazy rut.

It seem like she enjoy winding me up when I tell her off she just started singing and block me out like she not listening, but minute late she will do the opposite of what I've just told her not to do 😢

Thank you for your video. My two teens do not seem to listen to me. I will tell them to do a specific task or chore and they do not do what I have asked.

@Lisa Rodriguez Hi. I wanted to see how it's going? I know it's hard sometimes, but if they don't do something simple you ask of them, what if you give them a warning, and tell them it is a warning, so they understand, and tell them if they don't do the things you ask, they have to have a consequence.. best one I've seen that works is taking away the phone for whatever determined amount of time.. and then if they do not do the chore or whatever.. they gotta lose that phone for a bit. It usually helps them learn... even if you have to do it again and again. I know it's hard to hear the whining and comments, but sometimes things are necessary. I feel you.

Thank you. What do you do when your teen wants games and apps but they are using it for sexual conversations with strangers and when we put limits on apps and usage such as screen time limits, they get upset. Now they have their other parent get them a phone, so now we cannot utilize the screen time limits anymore, so they stay up late on school nights, give out passwords to strangers, and have inappropriate conversations while sharing and receiving personal pictures and video calls. The other parent won’t talk with us. Do we have any legal rights? Thank you.

The biggest challenge I have with my 15 year old is that her grades are going down drastically and she is not ready for a conversation. She gets frustrated whenever we try to discuss things with her or as how we can help. She will not utter a single word and keep quiet. We send her to private school but I don’t think it is helping her in anyways.

Go play the game with him, beat the game together. Ask about his dreams, support his dreams and go for them together. Just like the objective in the game. Let him know that you are there as support, in game and in real life.

My biggest chalenge is that my teen is lazy and not motivated to study ou reading. He procrastinates. When I ask him to rivise he just stears at the books
