Research shows that children, particularly teenagers, are susceptible to reaching out to their friends when their parents are not around to guide them. Teens this day in age are highly intrigued by their peers, if there is a lack of guidance from parents, it is likely that they will fall into things that are not suitable for them at the appropriate age.]]> 2018-12-04 04:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310738376 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310739646 Parental Guidance

Not living up to what the challenge is at school or within a group of friends can make or break a teens reputation. Choosing to do something you would not otherwise do, because you want to feel accepted or valued by your friends is peer pressure, it is not always about doing something against your will (RaisingChildren).]]> 2018-12-04 04:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310741283 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310741671 As parents we need to take this definition serious and know that it’s a very real thing that our children are up against daily. We can take the situations that they are going through and talk with them about their current situations, rather than what are situations were as children. They want to feel like they are being heard, and that it is about them. While telling your child about your teenage years and the “what not to do’s”, is a good start, it is not the pressured situation they are in. We need to listen, and I found that it is most effective when it is on their time, not ours.]]> 2018-12-04 04:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310741671 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310742064 “As much as you would like your kids to genetically find interest in the things you love to do, they are their own individual with their own identity, have their own drives, desires, passions and interests to discover for themselves (Psych Alive).”]]> 2018-12-04 04:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310742064 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310742484 I realized that my teen is human, just like me. She is her own person, and as I guide her in life, she still will make her own decisions. They might not be what I have envisioned, but as long as I can provide a positive influence in her life, she will create her own identity with great meaning.]]> 2018-12-04 04:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310742484 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310743175 Question: How important is it to a teenager for parents to guide them and be involved in their daily lives?]]> 2018-12-04 04:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310743175 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310743453 It is very important for parents to keep track of their kid because if they don’t they can be doing things that they are not supposed to do. If they are not there to help guide us and be there for us, it is easier to do the wrong thing. Our parents are there to help us make better decisions when we are in doubt. If they are not there, then we are at risk for making the wrong choice (Lopez).]]> 2018-12-04 04:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310743453 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310743920 Understanding teenagers can be an unforeseen task. As well as very draining. You have to keep you teenagers busy, keep them involved in sports, being a part of a team teaches your child that it is not always about them, that others depend on them, not just the people in their household. They hold a value to others. Accountability is huge for teenagers, so by keeping them busy and providing them with the rewarding feeling of not only being a part of a team, but also showing them that they matter.]]> 2018-12-04 04:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310743920 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310744241 According to Ukiah police department, in a recent article, teens who are involved in physical activity have been proven to improve academically. Crime statistics show that the highest risk for a teenage becoming a victim of a violent crime is the hours immediately following the end of the school day. Studies also show that teenagers are more likely to engage in risky behaviors- smoke, drink or do drugs- during these after school hours (Ukiah Police).]]> 2018-12-04 05:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310744241 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310744452 I learned within this research is that, every time she interacts with some aspect of family structure, whether in consent or complaint or conflict, the adolescent connects herself to that primary social unit. If you want to keep your adolescent connected to family, keep that family structure firmly in place (Psychology Today). Keeping your teen close to home and being consistent with your guidance will allow them to persevere when challenges arise.]]> 2018-12-04 05:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310744452 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310745154 When the parent is ready to listen, the adolescent isn’t ready to talk; and when the adolescent is ready to talk, the parent isn’t ready to listen. What typically gets in the way of adolescent the talking is not being in the right frame of mind or mood to open up. What typically gets in the way of the parent listening is being busy or tired (Psychology Today). Learning that communication is key is a challenge for a lot of people, let alone teenagers. As adults we struggle with it yet expect our adolescent to be able to communicate and be open with us at all times.]]> 2018-12-04 05:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310745154 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310745679 Teenage years are rough, not just for the parents, but for teens as well. The pressure they endure can be very stressful. As long as they have people to trust, and to talk to, it will allow them to have an outlet and not hold things in that maybe causes them to act out. Teens need more love than they can appear to show, a simple, “how was your day today?” can mean the world to them. Although teenagers can come off as quiet, only interested in their friends and electronics, in reality they crave attention from those that they love, and they want to communicate, they just need to have trust and guidance from their parents in order to speak up.]]> 2018-12-04 05:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310745679 lylialopez1234 https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310745921 Parenting is far from easy. At times we can feel as if we have failed. But as long as we communicate, and love them unconditionally they will trust us to guide them and support them in when things are great and when things are rough. In the end, they need us just as much as we need them. ]]> 2018-12-04 05:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lylialopez1234/ffmpragmwqyh/wish/310745921
