1: Understanding Young Teens: : Adolescence: A Journey Through Teenage Years
The span of development which is held to be the most frustrating and at the same time the most magical is referred to as teenage. To young teens especially those in middle B and lower SS everything is new in that stage and everything is intensified. It is the time of big changes whether these are internal changes or external changes. To some families, though, it is more like watching parents and caregivers attempt to catch a rollercoaster. But again I believe that when one has understood the challenges of a young teen in his or her daily activities is easy to accept them and assist them.
2: A Change and pains physical
As for young teens, they are just below the puberty peak – or right in the peak of a massive transformation. Puberty brings along growth increase, changes in body structures, ambiguity over normal development. These changes can make some teens to be happy or even excited, while on the other end of the scale, can embarrass them or make them be self-concisely aware. It is very important because teens use friends or content from websites such as Facebook or Instagram to shape conclusions, sometimes deriving they do not fit any of those parameters.
Parents can help with this by just making the adolescents understand that people are different and do not grow up in the same way. Body positivity rather than urging them to look like a beauty ideal and appreciate another side of personality. At other times what is required is the availability of a person who will give attention.
3: Inconsistent Emotions
Teenagers are moody and this is not their fault; especially young teens. Adrenal glands are on the move, feelings can flip like a blinking light in the wink of an eye. One minute they are happy even if only in humor, and after that they get offended easily or cry over something that for a grown man or woman is negligible. It’s not that they are exaggerating-they have not known how to deal with these novel emotions.
Just being able to sit down with them and explain to them that you just want to listen and won’t make any judgments can really help. Just get to know how they are doing and be sure to pay attention to what they say. Sometimes you do not need to possess all the solutions but presence is what makes the difference.
4: Craving Independence
At this age young teenagers start demanding more freedom. They may just need a chance to make more of their own choices, or rebel against the house rules. Its a process in constructing meaning in their lives, defining themselves and the images they wish to portray to the outside world. They are beginning to have different perspectives on what they think the world is and are ready for a challenge.
This is where an ounce of compromise can make a difference. White, never deprive them of the power of decision making, in some small ways as well as you should always take it in turns to negotiate some liberties of perusal without a doubt, setting terminasures and conditions to the lobbying. It’s a fine line, though, and proving to them that you believe in their ability to make the right decisions is motivating.
5: Buddies and Compulsion Influences
Friends become all important during the early teen age. The company they keep, the outfits they choose, the subjects of their conversations are all components of creating an identity. That sometimes results to positive impact such as motivating each other to work hard in school. But it also has the disadvantage of generating negative peer pressure.
Discuss on ways on how to cope with bullying/bullying behavior; What makes a true friend. Remind them to always be real and let them know that it isn’t always easy. Tell them that it is okay not to stick around people when things go wrong or feel unpleasant.
6: The Digital World and the Social networks
Generation Y are the first born digital citizens and their phones form a significant portion of their daily reality. It is a way of finding friends, and at the same time introduces them to other things they would like to engage in but has challenges. There is beauty pressure on the internet, possibilities of becoming a victim of cyberbullying, and always an urge to mindlessly surf the social networks.
This way they will be able to discuss all what they have on social media and the feeling associated to them. Explain to them or assist them to understand when to free themselves and set certain screen limits. Above all things, explain to them that they do not have to live off likes and comments to feel valued.
7: School and Stress
Early Teens are full of stress for teenagers in school. The expectations for good results, being valued as a pretty and useful addition to the group, and a first hint at the future in a single product. While some teenagers would be all about their books others would have issues with motivation.
Encourage them with telling them there is nothing wrong with expecting from learning. Motivate them not only in the result also make them understand what failure means and how it can be used. If they are stressed, it teaches them how to portion the activity into tasks, and other fun activities to undertake.
8: Who Am I? Finding Their Identity
Adolescent one of their tasks is to work on identity E. They might even force change in the genre, friends in the band, band members in general due to trying out something new. It’s ages which can form critical view to the world and start doubting the input data.
Telling them to go after their interests and passions is fine with me. Stay with them irrespective of how nuts they may be and always allow them space when such is the need. Try persuading them to let you tell a story on how you raised up and assure them that there is no harm in not knowing everything.
Final Thoughts
Teenage life is not a walk in the park and neither is raising a teenager. It is a period of transition, improvement and experimentation and like every other stage in life – full of highs and lows. And it is also time that can be used to build them into the young, strong and independent individuals. So maybe it wasn’t easy for them to succeed, or maybe they struggled in their growing pains, but knowing their struggles and being there to have an influence on them can help make the teenage years a little more civilized and a whole lot more glorious.
