How Should A Parent Deal With The Stress and Guilt of Disciplining?
Disciplining a teenager is no easy task, and at times, a parent can be made to feel guilty and stressed about doing so. When a child yells, "I hate you!" is probably one of those times....
So what does a parent do to properly discipline, but without all the heavy feelings? First, remember that YOU are the parent, that YOU are the one in charge. Therefore, as the parent, you must realize that it is your responsibility to discipline your child. Don't give in to your kid's guilt producing ways!
Also, understand that discipline is about more than just breaking rules and punishment. You are parenting a teenager, someone who is well on the way to adulthood, someone who looks to you for the proper way to do things. Proper discipline requires patience, explaining, reasoning and understanding. Help your teenager to understand the reasons for why things are done the way they are done. -
Communication Is Important
You MUST keep the lines of communication open with your teenager! This is very important. Therefore, do not ever 'go ballistic' about anything. Always keep calm and listen, so that your teenager knows that you are always available. You want to always be the very first one your teen comes to for help on anything, so don't betray the trust that is important to make this happen. Be firm in your discipline, but also be calm!
