Parenting Is Not Easy
There are no easy or premade answers to most parenting concerns. In fact, perfect parenting doesn’t exist. While being a parent can bring joy and fulfillment to your life, it’s also a stressful role to perform.
At First Talk, we’ve attended to other parents’ struggles, insecurities, and concerns as a parent.
If you are struggling to parent your pre-teen or teenager, you are not alone. Parenting becomes extremely challenging during this period, and most feel they lack the tools or understanding to navigate it. While we understand that there is no-way to parent a teenager, a counselor can support and guide you in this process.
How Can Parent Counselling Services Help?
Our qualified counsellors work with you to help you find the answer to the following behavioral questions:
- Which of my teen’s behaviors are expected, and which ones should I be concerned about?
- When it’s okay to leave my teen alone?
- When and how do I intervene?
- Should I be more strict with my teenager?
- How do I respond to my child’s threats?
- How do I effectively communicate with them?
- What is the most effective way to respond when my teen breaks the rules?
- How much responsibility should I give a 15-year-old?
- Is there a proper way to discipline a 17-year-old?
- What can I do to stop the arguing in my house?
So Many Questions
The questions you are asking yourself right now probably go on. Some parents even reach out to us feeling ashamed, guilty, and blaming themselves for their teen’s shortcomings. Our mental health professionals understand your position and work one-on-one with you to establish an age-appropriate response to your child’s needs.
If your teen is in high school and departure from home is imminent, switching roles and learning when to let go can also be tricky. At First Talk, you can talk with an expert parent counsellor to cope with these changes. Your therapist will give you all the support and guidance to help you become the best possible parent you can be.
We know you want to have a fantastic relationship with your child, and even if it seems impossible right now, you can reconnect and strengthen the bond with your teenager.
