Dear Emma Aged 15 Months

Teens are awesome! They’re smart, very eager to please, funny and ready to take up on anything. They actually have the kindest hearts and desperately seeking for attention, love and validation. They are messy and quirky at times but have the best sense of humor in the room.

However, there are times in which teens are unstable; unstable by means of their emotions and thinking.

For parents, it is important that they figure out how to take care of their teens to ensure that they’ll be guided in the right direction.

In order to do this, there are few things that should be considered which will be discussed below:

Love them Fiercely

No matter how funny or annoying your teens do, show them and let them know how much you love them. Love them both for their intentions and actions. Love their imperfections. Always remember, teens want to feel validated and belong to a group and these are few of the things that would make them feel it.

Pay Attention and Listen

As they walk in after long day at school, you have that small window of knowing how their day went. Show your excitement in seeing them and give them your undivided attention.
