    best advice would be not to have any children. There is already enough stress in life to add one more to bring up teen. Those who dont see any issue with their teens are just plain lucky.

Learning a lot. 1) How to help my 13 years old daughter to set her goals in life? 2) Is it important for a teenager to set goals both academically and other fields? 3) At what age generally they understand the concept of setting goals? 4) What are the ways to make them understand if they are on right track? Kindly suggest.

    Most of the time teenagers come tired of getting up early every morning to go to school and many of them like to go to bed late. When you ask them more openly to avoid a “good, fine or normal” they will answer you “I don’t know” = I am tired or I don’t want to talk.

    You can do everything right and they’ll still go wrong. Especially if you’re a single parent. Some voids can’t be filled by one parent.

    • @AskDanielWong

      That's true. In such cases, mentors and coaches become even more important in the teen's development.

      Sometimes it’s better to have one parent dictating the rules vs a wrong parent’s interference and decision involved. There will be fights at home which will effect the child negatively

    @cdeme123 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

    6:35 the biggest concern I have with my 15yo boy is that he'd rather forgo rewards and lose privileges rather than do the work. I have explained to him that the "privileges he is working for in the future won't be video game or screen time, but a sense of worth, the ability to provide for yourself and family, the ability to have nice things and security and some self-esteem. These are NOT things you should be willing to live without just because you're too lazy to do any work. When he does do things well (which is rare), I be sure to tell him he did a good job and thank him. However, it's difficult to stay positive when he gets fired from mowing the neighbor's lawn because, he either forgot to do the job when he promised multiple times, or did a very mediocre job. That job is one of the easiest to keep. You just have to care a little. Since he sees me working from home a lot these days, I hope he is seeing that it's not a terrible experience. He sees and hears me on calls with collogues and even having a few laughs throughout the day (9-10 hrs). I tell him I was able able to solve difficult problems that others couldn't figure out and that made their day better and I feel good that I was able to bring something to the table. So far, nothing seems to matter. He just "wants to relax."

    My small issue is when other kids feelings get hurt, my son is 15 and in our church there's this little 10yr old girl who hits on him, It's so interesting to see her try, attempt after attempt, I guess it's not super common for teenagers to be nice to kids, I mean for sure I know growing up us kids would just get bullied, anyhow I tell him never to reciprocate and he for sure doesn't love the attention but I just hope her feelings never get hurt
