I wrote a book titled *Secret Tips On How To Cure Damage Kidneys*

In this book, you are going to understand how Kidneys work, the mistakes youl do that affect the Kidneys and what you should start doing to make your health balance.

How well do you know your children?

Babatunde and Iyabo were surprised as their 15-year-old daughter entered the living room.

Her hair, once dark, was now bright red! Even more baffling was the conversation that ensued.

"Did we give you permission to dye your hair?"

"Well, you never said I couldn't."

"Why didn't you ask us?"

"Because I knew you'd say no!"

You see,

Adolescence is a time of upheaval not just for youths but also for their parents. Indeed, many fathers and mothers are utterly unprepared for the dramatic changes that take place when their child reaches puberty.

Consider the experiences of some parents.

"Our boys became more aggressive. Rather than accept our decisions, they challenged and debated them."_ Steve

"When he became an adolescent, my son suddenly seemed more opinionated and more inclined to question our authority."_ Jaye

"Our daughters became more self-conscious, especially about their appearance."_ John

"My son wanted to make his own decisions. He didn't want to be told what to do."_ Celine

"My daughter hide her feelings. She was shut up in her own little world, and she'd get annoyed at me when I'd try to enter it."_ Joanne

"Our children tended to be secretive and wanted to have more privacy. Often, they preferred to be with their friends rather than with us."_ Daniel

As the parent of an adolescent, you may find that some of the above comments could be your very own. If so, be assured that you are not helpless in your quest to understand this "stranger" in your midst, your teenage son or daughter.

Wisdom and Understanding are essential when dealing with an adolescent.

You need understanding to look beyond the behaviour and perceive just what your child is going through. You also need wisdom to respond in a way that continues to guide your teen toward Responsible adulthood.

Do not be fooled by what appears to be an ever-widening Gap in the relationship between you and your son or daughter. The fact is, adolescents need and even want their parents' involvement during this challenging stage of life. How can understanding and wisdom help you to provide such guidance?

The Role Of Understanding

Suppose you were visiting a foreign land and you did not speak the native tongue. No doubt, communication would be difficult but not impossible. For example, a phrase book could help you to learn the basic expressions of the language. Or perhaps someone could translate for you so that you would be able to understand others and be understood by them.

You, as a parent raising teenagers may sometimes feel that they are in a similar situation. Much like a foreign language, the behaviour of adolescents may be difficult but not impossible to comprehend.

The key is for parents to try to interpret just what is happening during this sometimes exciting, but often confusing, stage of growth.

Behind The Behaviour

A youth's desire for Independence is not always a sign of rebellion.

To prepare for greater responsibilities in adulthood, youths need at least some experience in making decisions.

Take note that Secrecy can be dangerous. However, Privacy is different. As your youths grow, they too need some personal space and they need adults to respect that space. A degree of privacy helps your youths to think things through-a vital skill that will serve them well in adulthood.

Learning to establish friendships is a part of growing up. Learning how to form and maintain healthy friendships is a vital skill that will last into adulthood.

Parents need to acquire understanding so that they do not misinterpret the behaviour of their teens. Of course, understanding needs to be coupled with wisdom, the ability to respond to a situation in a way that will produce the best result.

How can parents of adolescents do that?

The Role Of Wisdom

Raising an adolescent is no easy task. So good communication is important in order to reach the heart.

Listening is especially vital when there is a conflict.

Take for example, the case of a parent, Mrs. Danielle.

She related: "I had an issue with one of my daughters over the way she talked back when I asked her to do anything. But she told me that I was always shouting at her and ordering her around. We resolved this conflict by sitting down and really listening to each other. She described the way I spoke to her and how it made her feel, and I described my impressions and feelings to her."

Now ,how much freedom should be given to a teenager?

Please comment

Alright,

Youths of any age need firm guidelines, and parents should be loving but consistent in their enforcement of family rules.

At the same time, they need to be accorded a degree of Independence so that they will be better prepared to make wise decisions later in life.

Gaining Independence is like learning to walk-it is a gradual process
