Are you having sleeping problems lately thinking about your child's future? Are you one of the many parents who are having problems with their teenagers? It is absolutely a fact that two out of ten teenagers go through a stage that we call storm of problems but with proper guidance, these kids will surpass all these struggles in life. Is it possible for kids not to experience problems in life? Nope, but it is possible that a teenager may not turn to drugs, alcohol, pre-marital sex and even suicide when problems hit his life. How do you do this? Proper guidance and quality time spent by parents to their children will be of great help. It may sound corny or mushy but young men also need love and affection from their parents. They are also humans who crave companionship as well as an understanding ear from their parents.
Aside from spending quality time with your teenagers, you should inculcate in his young mind the boundaries of right from wrong. It would be better for the kid to know his limitations, and to know that everything here on earth may be permissible, and not everything is beneficial to him. That is why, at an early age, it is better that you introduce to him to productive ways on how to spend his time.
1. Coin collection- if your child is the introvert type, then you introduce to him the art of coin collection rather than he will spend the time lock up in his room talking. This will open up his eyes about the history of economy. You can start by searching online on how to begin a coin collection, and share it with him. Anyway, it is not hard to start a coin collection these days because one can already purchase genuine old coins such as the 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar.
2. Books- whether your child is a lady or a gentleman you can introduce books to them. Books can open up new world to them. It will also educate them without spending much. It would also be better if you would enroll them to book clubs, there, they can meet other teenagers who are fond of reading.
3. Charity work- for teenagers who are outgoing, it would be best if they spend their time helping others instead of getting drunk and partying with their friends. Charity will teach your teenage kids the importance of giving as well as sharing.
