Why is my teen so difficult?

Do you feel troubled by your teen and wonder why their behaviour is so difficult?

It's really not your teen's fault, their behaviour is just a communication not a cause. Each family and each individual is different and of course the causes of driving their troubled behaviour would be very different. The common mistakes parents and professionals can make is jump to intervention to stop the troubled behaviour. Your teenager is refusing to go to school, doesn't mean the intervention is grounding. Your teenager is depressed doesn't mean the intervention is therapy. You need to know why your teen is behaving the way they are otherwise you will continue to be stuck in this negative cycle.

Next, there is " 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬" that are specific enough to meet your family’s unique blueprint and circumstances.

It's the very reason why the parenting strategies you learned from books, classes and programmes don't work. Your family is unique and special. The strategies can not be generalised so easily without careful thinking through.

Then, Nobody teaches you about how your teen develops or what you need to do to make sure they meet their development needs and how you can support them to navigate the challenges in this part of life journey.

Also everybody talks about how tricky it is to parent a teenager, but nobody shows you how to make it easier either.

Everyone stumbles along, some families are lucky to have teenagers that don't rebel.

some families struggle with their teens to the point that their families are at breaking point or in crisis.

Nobody is teaching parents why and what can contribute to their teens' challenging behaviour and how to manage the behaviour.

Although we have all been teenagers ourselves, it is a complete different story when it comes to parenting teenagers.
