Life is a Challenge, Meet it.

Common teenage challenges


A friend of ours, a noted educationist, has listed following challenges for teenage parenting-
Bullying and your child
Confidence building
Moods, stress and depression
Your child’s behavior
Communication with your child
Handling failure
School holidays
Your child and homework
Growing independence
Your communication with your child.

However, going through the list and meeting children of today, may be these are challenges for all parents having school going children of any age.

I would agree that these are the challenges for all ages. My 4 year old also faces the same and so do her parents. Communication is a challenge for our 7 month old as well :)

You are right when you say these are the challenges for all ages. Though I also feel, for the parents of a teenager, these points in the list are 10 times more challenging than any other parent.
My daughter is 9 yrs old and I can feel the storm coming in a few years.
