Challenge 1: Communication and ExpectationsCommunication is the first challenge, and it can be the toughest for parents. Most teenagers hit a certain level in their development where Mom and Dad become an embarrassing nuisance that is only tolerated due to the need for food, clothing shelter and a ride (until they get their license). But the reality is that your teen needs (and secretly desires) your help, support and guidance.
Challenge 2: Communication and ExpectationsSo does your teenager come home from school every day, grab something to eat and go into their room to go on the computer or watch TV? Or are you working and you really have no idea what they are doing every afternoon when they are home from school?
Challenge 3: The 4 W'sTeenagers need established boundaries regarding where they go and when they need to be home each night. If you set down clear guidelines early on and explain your reasons, work with them, give them an opportunity for input and reward them when appropriate, it will be a much easier road.
Challenge 4: Rules of the RoadTeenagers and motor vehicles open up a whole new can or worms for parents. It starts about age 15 when an older friend gets a driver’s license, and it escalates dramatically from there as your child gets their permit and license to drive.
Challenge 5: Understanding Cyber-SpaceFor many parents the internet can be a huge black hole that is scary and not understood. The fact is though that the computer, the internet, social networking, 3G cellular and cloud computing are just the tip of the iceberg regarding the changes that our children (as well as ourselves) will experience with regards to communication and technology in the near future.
