How do you deal with a rebellious teenager? I don't recognize my child. 

Social media has a great influence on these developing youth

For the people in the comments, there's a difference with giving your teen some space, and completely ignoring them for months and years at a time. "Giving space" to me as a parent, is like observing and monitoring, instead of micro-managing every decision a teen makes.

Yes the parents should chill out a bit however potentially chilling out can give teenagers the green light saying your free I'm giving u time. I'm 15 and although I hate being that typical teenager I also understand my parent pov. So both parents and children need to chill out.

Unless you have children you don't understand. My son ive been nothing but patient with and loving and he is showing to everyone that no one matters except himself. This kind of advice he just gave sounds like someone who doesn't know anything about children. I've raised other people's children along with my own. The baby of the family is the last to leave the nest. He's 15 and lies and steals. I don't know what to do because his behavior is getting out of control. I'm 33. I've taken child development courses and have a degree in psychology. This generation doesn't respect adults. The school system has failed our youth. Parents have failed. The economy is in dire straits. Parents' power to punish has been taken away. I could go on. Yes maybe this advice could help some but the reason some of our teens are in such shit is because parents have taken a back seat to their children's wellfair.

He clearly don't have a teenager.

I wish my parents could understand this.😢

The problem with today's youth is that they have instilled in them PRIDE. Most are ungrateful, disrespectful, selfish and act as if the world revolves around them. Society has ruined households with their agenda. 😔

This man clearly does not understand the parental view and if the kids are acting like this in puberty than clearly they do not fear Allah nor do they respect parents

The problem is this generation is getting alot of information on there rights online But nothing about there responsibility. Also the kind of films they watch and computer games they play online.

What nonsense so if your child starts taking drugs or even sells it, yh give them space. More like give them responsibility

My mom doing that to my older brother: Him: becomes a dad at 15….

I am 16 years old and I tried to change myself but I couldn't I began to angry I can't control my anger may Allah guide me

There definitely needs to be a balance because my parents backed off, chilled out to the max and I ended up doing my own thing, gangs, drugs, in and out of juvenile detention centers and finally at the age of 16 my dad kicked me out the house and I ended up in the streets....but I thank God for saving me❤️

Yes I agree as the teenager. Because my parents never try to understand my situation when I'm in that term.

Hey parents chill out. Don’t be all over teen’s back telling them what they are doing wrong and they know nothing. Then cut to reality… teens shooting, starting riots and now some people don’t fill safe going to events 🤦🏾‍♂️

All rubish dont make teenage an excuse for taking parents for granted Space and care is always there

He's not old enough to give advice on parenting a teenager 💯

Boundaries and respect should always be maintained but with logic for sure with them

I hate that word transistioning. The rainbow movement destroyed it for me.

When you chill out as a parent know your child is heading down a dark unknown path, I will give my children guidance. Let them know why it’s not safe and why they should reconsider. After countless conversations she chooses the wrong choice and end us with her out come. She asked for help and I will provide none. My help came when I was giving her wisdom and correction. She will now be humbled by reality in her own choices. Jesus said to train up a child In the way they should go and when the child wanders from the way, they know what way to go back home.

They don’t change… so this here is crazy. The ones who see their faults and genuinely are sorry are the ones that do change. But the terms who keep repeating the same BS will never. Dealing with this crap now. And it ain’t even my kids. Smh

Do you have a teenage daughter or son, because you like your 20 years old. Have you felt with a situation like this personaly?

That's all fine and good, except when the rebellious teenager is being watched by a yoinger sibling. My rebellious teen is 17 and my son is 6 and he is very observant and my 17 year is doing things in front of him she was told NOT to. So, chilling out is not always the answer.

Praying

Children are seeing through the manipulation of their parents that they're parents disguise as love.

Just gotta be their best friends, treat them as such and teach them to be a good friend back. Lots of dua's for guidance and plenty of exposure to the prophets

Subhan’Allah Alhamdulillah La illaha illa Allah Muhammadur rasulullah Allahu Akbar

This is the problem. Parents coming to a young man with no kids trying to teach parents how to raise your kids. Sounds like the blind leading the blind to me.

Chill out? When your teen becomes promiscuous, drinks alcohol, skips school, steals, lies and calls your wife disrespectful names? Horrible advice. I’ve got two teens, and chilling out does nothing but give a license to keep it up.

Some of us we have children who are doing things we don't understand we install Bible teaching everyday and give them love and support 😢😢😢😢

More useless advice...

Subhanallah

Yes this is my situation. I don't recognize this child. He's being mean to me. Telling me he's not going to talk to me when he's an adult. Maybe me depressed and I'm so sad.

Still no excuse to disrespect others. It’s why the youth are the way they are, no consequences

I mean if you have a close relationship with your child, keep them away from social media, teach them morals and values, give them space when needed, but parent when necessary, i mean they turn out just alright. You cant let teenagers go wild to much. Exposing them constantly to worldy crap will get a stable mind lost in confusion. Just my thoughts. 😅

Amen 🙏 😊

he is mad to be honest. if parents don't control there child in teenage then most of them will end there life ok? my age is 16

Whatttttt brother kids are like branches and limbs once they grow crooked nothing straightness them I got 3 kids had the 1st at the age of 17 I know parenting

yeah no if i even breathe wrong im getting smacked 💀

Not helpful. I need better advice

me being a rebel when I was 8 years old

My little brother is doin this juste now we had serious problème ....can you help ?

Can I have full video link

Wow!! Handsome, hot, sooo young.. But u teached me a Mom. Thanks gentleman🙏

So when they dont come home...just chill out. Hmm ok...see if you do that when you're a parent.

im so stressed bcs they wont leave me alone

They actually know nothing, and for that reason should listen…

But what about if they are going down a dark path at 14 and have no ambition . To say I’m happy to fail high school I don’t care . That’s the words that are coming out of our 14 year olds mouth . I mean lying sneaking out at 14 doing drugs cleptomaniac and I’m just going to sit back and let it happen ? I need some advice

Back up into the delivery room

By the time they take all their time they turn into useless brats

This doesn’t work 😮

Yes tewnagers are veryyy badvarrogant mostly to mothers. Then also we have to work for them

He not got kids he no idea the moment he said kids need time I’ve switched is best to listen to Andrew Tate who tell you to discipline your kids he said himself Uk children are meesed up

This is good and all but the name calling and saying I don't need you. I guess, back up, huh. It isn't true. Give him time and ignore the name calling and him getting in me and his mom's business? Him parenting me? I suppose to fold? It's confusing. Naturally, I don't let back talk slide. I'll shut it down and we go back and forth when he needs to shut up.

Are kuch bolenege nahin to bigad kaye ge bhai

ALL IN ALL ITS JUST AH, NOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL!

Don't worry, the Real World will NOT be patient 😂. They'll learn.
