It's very important that you respect your teen's boundaries. Because if you don't, she is likely to feel that you have infringed on her space and consequently, spend less time with you. So, do not force family time on her. Remember, the point of spending time together as a family is to bond.

Read More »Worried that your teen is not spending enough time with you? And confused as to why this is happening? Here's what you can do to reconnect with your teen through this ever-changing phase in her life. "How do I get my teenage daughter to spend time with me? Well, that's the million-dollar question! My daughter really likes eating out and watching new movies. So, I often start a conversation with her on these topics, even if I have no interest in them myself. After I get the conversation going, I slowly shift to other topics I want to talk to her about" - Sudha from Chennai, mother of a 16-year-old. We all know that adolescence can be a tumultuous period for both parent and child. This is because children slowly begin to discover their own interests or what we call a teen's interests and create their own identity. They learn about their potential and who they can become in the future. So, it's natural for them to pull away from their parents while on this journey of self-discovery. After all, much of their identity up till now is a result of parental influence. For example, the choice of movies, food, religion, etc. is based on what they have experienced in their immediate environment. This is not to say that preteens do not have identities, but are more often than not, unable to take independent decisions. So, teens explore more boundaries. However, it's important that parents do not take this personally, as most teenagers go through this. Just think back to your time as a teenager and the conflicts you went through with your parents. Such differences between parent and teen is natural and might even do good, as it can help them grow closer together, in the future. And just as teenagers need to adjust to the changes in their bodies and minds, parents also need to adjust their approach to parenting while raising a teen.

Read More »Your teen is not interested in the activity you proposed. For example, you ask him to come trekking as a way of spending quality time together and he might hate trekking. Your teen is avoiding you. This could be for various reasons. If you feel this is the case, then refusing family time is a symptom and it's important that you deal with the reason for avoidance directly. You might feel hurt when your teen does this, but it's important to not react in an impulsive manner. Instead, work toward strengthening your relationship with her. Here is what you can do to re-connect with your teen:

Working together to achieve a goal, even a simple one like getting all the dishes done before a certain time, creates a sense of being on the same team. Not to mention that chores tend to be more bearable (or even fun) when you have someone to share them with.
