Harsh Parenting!!!

Harsh Parenting!!!
Harsh parenting never works for teenagers.
It produces minimal or no result on teenagers.
I write this based on a case I handled recently.
As children develop into teenagers a lot of changes occur. They are becoming adults and parents and guardians need to understand this transition and treat them accordingly.
Some parents/guardians still want to cage their teenagers or shout at them in public as they would do with their 5 year old child.
I have seen so many teenagers run away from home because of the way some parents/guardians handle them.
Harsh parenting can drive teenagers away. It will make them have dual personalities (acting very good at home or in front of parents/guardians but very bad in their absence or when taken to another environment)
This is the case of many students in secondary schools and university.
How to work with teenagers:
Be a role model: it is difficult to parent or lead a teenager you are not and example to.
Create a friendly environment for parenting: don’t be too serious, teenagers are looking for who to talk to
Don’t be boring: Teenagers easily get bored when you are not interesting. Get interested in things they like so you can penetrate into their world and make changes on time.
Pray for them: talking a lot might never change some things. Pray to destroy certain characters you are not comfortable with.
