Parenting the BIG T - THE TEENS

Disclaimer Alert : This is a fun blog. The contents of this blog are only for creating a bit of amusement and light heartedness that one may be in dire need of, if you have a teenager at home.

Anyone who tells you that there are no special skills required in raising and coping with the teens, either hasn't been with one or is not telling the truth. 

There is not one but plenty of skills required besides the usual of being wise, calm, assertive, inculcating discipline, good eating habits, creating boundaries and rules for usage of technology, language, bullying or getting bullied and spending wisely, amongst others. This skill set is a "must have" from the parents side.

That's about the skill set, let's talk about the concerns now. 

Here goes ... 

Concern no 1 :


This is a fact, they are way ahead of us in terms of life preparation.  So, how do you prepare someone with life skills because they already seem to "KNOW it ALL" 😀😀

Concern no 2: 


Cleanliness is next to Godliness but how does a parent ensure that ? 

Concern No 3: 


How to make certain that I as a parent can provide space 24*7*365 to my teen till they are forced to live with me ? 😉

Concern No 4:


Why can't maggi and junk food hunger pangs at 1 am be substituted with proper meals at normal, average, comfortable timings ? 

Ways to piss off a Teenager 🙂

1) Ask for any kind of computer help.

2) Say " I love you " in public 

3) Say anything remotely upsetting about their friends 

4) Tag them on social media 

5) Try saying No for any of the friends party or get together especially when there are too many in a row 

6) Try and drop them till their school stop.

7) Reminding them to brush their teeth, style their hair, eat less of that junk food, sleep in time ( please remind me what's in time now a days)



Looking for a solution ; here goes 

ONE AND THE ONLY SOLUTION : 


Think about that solution seriously now. Not to be taken lightly at all.

Oops .. my teenage daughter is here. Better close before she gets to see this 🤭😬😶🤐💩😷

On a little serious note, my dear children

In DEEP GRATITUDE

Image
 The woman that walked in felt chained down, afraid , fearful, confused, super exhausted, unhappy, heavy, worn and depleted of any life force. Anyway out of it, seemed impossible to achieve  But all thanks to her great good fortune, in walked in another woman who with her humility, knowledge, expertise, sincerity, genuine concern, objectivity, understanding, completely non judgmental attitude and a very  structured approach, held her hand and helped her to move forward. The woman walking out is actually feeling ok with all the experiences and challenges that she had to face, is ready to learn from them and move forward. She is also feeling unchained, free and open to be herself and excited at her second innings. While words are truly not enough to express her gratitude, that's all she has at the moment with a promise that she will make herself and you proud in times to come ... " I want to say thank you to the rare few individuals in my life who have listened without judg...

Introverts vs Extroverts

Image
We all have different personality types which are not limited or restricted to being an introvert or an extrovert. But just to make it simple to understand, let's broadly curb it to down to these two personalities. While growing up also, I would be mostly happy being myself. Introverts are definately not anti-social. I feel they are just not social enough and they are happy that way.  Knowing myself very well, let me try and burst a few myths about introverts.  1) They are unfriendly and like I said earlier anti social. I can certainly vouch for the fact that they are neither. They prefer time alone but that does not make them unfriendly at all. 2) It's difficult to get to know them. That is truly not the case, but introverts prefer not to open themselves with all who prefer to small talk. They have meaningful deeper friendships and connections with a handful of people who know them quite well. 3) When one thinks of a leader , who would you imagine ? That's right ..an extro...

Disrespect

Image
 I am sure everyone is aware of what disrespect means but just to break it down; disrespect is  1) to treat without respect 2) show or express contempt or rudeness 3) low regard for someone or something. 4) to disrespect someone is to act in an insulting way towards them. 5) It is actually the exact opposite of respect by acting rude, impolite or offensive. I am sure all of us have witnessed it somewhere / sometime.Being disrespected is definately not a part of healthy relationships. Let me give you an example of disrespect  in a form of put down. Radha and Ashok have been married for a while and Ashok knows that Radha always wanted to become a doctor but could not for some reasons. While they are out for dinner with the extended family, Ashok says a mean joke suggesting Radha was not smart enough to become a doctor which causes Radha to be embarrassed. (Now simply replace becoming a doctor with anything else). And that's a put down which in turn is huge part of disrespec...
