Teen Services Has your sweet little child become a teenager you don't recognize?
Are you constantly irritated with their behaviors? Do you find yourself worrying about how they are acting? Do you feel like you have done everything you can and nothing is working?
The teenager years are difficult on both the parents and the teenager. Parents find themselves trying to understand and deal with their child who is not the same wonderful son or daughter as they were just a few months ago. What you are going through is not uncommon. Are any of the following occurring in your home:
- Are you worrying about your child's change in mood?
- Is your normally happy and outgoing child now quiet and spending most of their time shut in their room?
- Has your child stopped speaking to you and you are worried that something is wrong?
- Is your teenager angry, defiant, and not following rules?
Why continue to live in chaos and worry? Now is the time to learn how to communicate with your child, find them a place to be able to express themselves in a safe atmosphere, and support them as they grow into the young adult you want them to be. There is hope.
Are you struggling to understand what is happening to your child?
The teenage years are a difficult time for all kids. They are adapting to their growing and changing bodies, they have new hormones affecting them, they are trying to figure out how to navigate relationships, and they are struggling to achieve a balance between independence and support from their families. Then add in the challenges and temptations of daily life in this decade. From the technology (internet and cell phones) to entertainment choices (video games, ipods) to their fears of terrorism, children are becoming more and more isolated from each other and their families.
You live with the chaos daily. Are you ready to work towards a more peaceful home?
Working with teenagers is difficult. There can be hurts, resentments, and anger towards themselves or their family that have been building up for weeks, months, or even years. Some parents decide it is easier to continue to live in the chaos than to look for help.
