The wild thing about all of this is the concept of a teenager is a post WW2 concept and through most of human history there were two phases in life, pre-puberty and post. Once you went through puberty you were viewed as an adult and expected to act as one.
Thanks! I think it would depend on the unmet emotional needs the teen has which is the root issue to be addressed. But a logical consequence that's something along the lines of apologizing to the teacher and the class might work.
@@AskDanielWong Thank you! Agree that there most likely are a root cause that needs to be handled and maybe the teen is insecure or have low self esteem and wants to use this method to get attention.
@@wouldntyouliketoknow5342 If he gets to choose, it sounds like it would be a logical consequence, which could work too if natural consequences aren't possible.
Natural consequence would be that the room will be filthy and not nice to invite friends to the room. But I think a teenage room is not that big of a problem ;)
Thanks for the work you are giving away. You are allowed to smile. I'm smiling now. I would like to see your smile now and then, Daniel. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Please think about the consequences of hearing about Judgement Day and not checking if it's true or not.
Sorry that’s bs. Kids are going to say that to justify that type of behavior because they really can’t explain why they’re rude for no reason they just have a bad attitude towards their parents and look at them as the enemy no matter how nice they can be is what I’ve come to find
The biggest problem I'm facing is she is always on the phone or laptop to play chess and listen to music. She doesn't want to be with family members. She is telling me that I hate humans and she is very aggressive. Nowadays I have hypertension and stress. I'm undergoing the medications. She Don't like to step out of her room
Biggest challenge i face with my 15 year old is that she says i am tired not able to sleep properly but refuse to floow our advice and communicate less and kind of shows she is suffering but doesn't let is help her.
My teen son is not actively looking for a job, despite help from my husband and me. We have tried to show him how to go about it. He has gotten into a lazy rut.
Why I tell my problems she says “ why see you telling me” with a disgusting tone, when I share some of her younger brother’s difficulties then also she says” idojt know go away”
the thumbnail design is very attractive. But here are some problems: 1. SEO score is very low 2. No title - description - tags are SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms and your RU-vid channel is a lot of trouble.
It's hard to let natural consequences unfold, especially after you've invested so much effort, only to watch it seemingly go to waste. However, you're right. This approach was what finally helped my oldest grasp the importance of their actions and set them on a better path. It was incredibly painful to watch and doing nothing felt like the toughest choice, but I now realize it was worth it. My mother wasn't perfect in many ways, and with my brother, she never enforced real consequences or stuck to her punishments, which negatively affected him throughout his adult life. His life was a sad story of wasted potential, despite his kind heart and promise. I've come to understand that what's easy for a parent isn't always what's best for the child. Parenting is about accepting this tough reality, knowing full well they might not appreciate or understand your actions until they're older, perhaps not until they're living on their own or have children themselves. So, don't expect immediate gratitude. Do your best and the results are what they are we are human as are they.
My teen doesn’t want to go back to school because the pupils are rude and she doesn’t know how to handle that situation. Please give me some advice. Thank you so much and God bless you for all your great videos

My teenage son told me to "shut up" at one time when I rush him and ask him to hurry up because I need to drop him off at school. He also gave me the dirty finger when I reminded him about something simple like correcting his posture. Of course, we had a serious talk about his actions and I told him that it's disrespectful but do you have other recommendations to resolve this issue in the future?

This is a 15yo boy from an online community. I'm not his family. Apparently, his parents doesn't let him use social media, except for our small online server. I am 28. At first, I tried to coach him, I was respectful and all that. He didn't respond much but kept talking about his situation. He displays toxic traits like judging other ppl or saying sarcastic things to them. One day, he tried to do this to me too, and I wasn't having that and changed the topic in a dismissive way. Eventually after some more weeks, idk why but he started judging me, giving me silent treatment, then when I was writing about a bug bite in the server today, nothing serious just little daily life things, he said "...just no." I asked him to clarify what he meant, but he decided to run away with silence. :/ Super frustrating
