As I go throughout the day and listen to my teenage daughter and son go back and forth, I realize they
have grown to be two completely different people. They have their own interests, likes and dislikes. I think that perhaps i may be the culprit for some of the bickering, arguing, and yelling that goes on with them. I pretty much treat them the same and try to spend time with them both just always the three of us together. I need to give them their own time to spend with me separately, after all they are individuals.
The following lists is what helps me view my children and try to understand them as individuals:
Try to focus on my teenager's individual interests
Adjust my parenting style for each teenager because not all teenagers are the same
Remember I was once a teenager. I wanted my parents to understand me, my individuality, my likes and dislikes.
