Teens have one foot in childhood, the other in adolescence. But theyre eager to grow up. Experts say the rush is partly due to popular mediaespecially teen magazines and television shows. It can also accelerate their desire for independence if theyre raised by single parents or in families where both parents work. Parents should not expect to have absolute control over their teens, but they should set limits. Regulate the number of hours kids watch TV, and monitor movies; say no to too much violence or graphic sexuality. Make sure you know what theyre doing online as well.
Peer pressure and new academic challenges can overwhelm teens. Look for symptoms of stress: headaches, stomachaches, sleeping or eating problems. Shifts in hormonelevels as teens advance toward puberty can also cause temporary mood swings. Dont ignore or punish teens when they become emotional: encourage them to air their feelings. Internalizing sadness or anger is unhealthy. Some teens can even be clinically depressed. Early signs: feelings of hopelessness, withdrawal and irritability. Parents should intervene and seek professional counseling.
