5 Powerful Tips to Improve Teen Self Esteem

Posted by admin, under Self Esteem

Have you ever had low self-esteem and didn’t know how to snap out of it? Have you ever wondered, how can I just flip the switch on, and change my mood? Has someone ever hurt your feelings and their words make you feel insecure about who you are? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then please continue reading and find out the 5 powerful tips to improve your self-esteem.

1. Appreciate yourself: This is where you are thankful for your gifts and talents. There are many gifts that you have that other teens do not have and it is time to appreciate that you have them. For example, I am a great reader or I am a great listener or I am a great helper, etc.

2. Avoid being Judgmental towards others: At times teens are notorious for gossiping and talking about others. Stop this habit, for this shows your insecurity about yourself and it only makes you feel worse afterwards. For example, she looks so fat in that, or he is not a good wrestler, etc.

3. Don’t Compare Yourself to anyone else: This only makes you think of everything you don’t have and makes your self-esteem decrease. You’re a unique person, so why are you comparing yourself, just be you and be happy with you. For example, why does she get a car at 16 and I have to wait 2 more years? This will make you sad and resentful of your life, instead of appreciating that some people never get a car, that they ride the bus, get a taxi, or walk their whole lives.

4. Make a few goals that you can reach and work towards it: Set some goals up for yourself, like doing your homework by 9 p.m. Another example would be no watching TV, until the weekend. Set up goals to help you accomplish some things you want to get done. This is a big booster in Self-Esteem.

5. Make a Contribution: Do something to help others and you will feel great. Do it for the sake of the Creator, and you will get rewarded in so many ways, it’s unbelievable. For example, help a friend with their studies; take care of your siblings, washing the dishes, volunteer for something, etc.

Anger Management for the Teen Who Knows It All

Posted by admin, under Anger Management

Teens now a day seem to know everything. Heck they think we just exist for the shear pleasure of cooking them their meals and taking them where they need to go. Seems more than not, they love to talk back and yell. Why not yell they feel the louder they yell the more we will hear them and then they get mad when we do not understand and then they walk out stomping or worse, cussing!

Teens usually fly of the handle when they have no patience with us, or they have a disagreement with their curfew. Teens have every thing going with them, from hormones, to girl or boy friends to just about anything else if they look at them wrong.

By telling them you will not talk to them when they are yelling is a good way to start. Tell them that nothing is every solved with yelling and tell them you know they would want to come to a better resolved for the problems, so talk it over with them. Sit, yes that’s right moms and dads, sit get out of the fast lane and take time! By sitting down, and listening to your teen, you will be surprised that they are caught off guard. Tell them you are all ears and that you want to resolve the problem.

If the anger is there because you will not let them go out and stay late, compromise with them. Tell them you will let them, if they will start to practice talking things out and not yelling at it all and becoming angry. But also in that tell them they will have consequences if they do not abide by the new decision, for example if you allow them an extra hour, and they come home later, tell them you will reduce the next time. But be sure to tell them ahead of time.

You will be surprised that teens are all to willing to negotiate. You need to learn how to be an auctioneer…bargain, start small and then go from there. By talking and sitting, yes sitting with your teen you will find that the anger will diminish over time.

Teen Goal Setting – Goal Setting For Teens

Posted by admin, under Goal Setting

Teen Goal Setting

Goal setting for teens can be cool if it encompasses ways for them to contribute, fosters the mounting independence and builds self-esteem – in a nonjudgmental and encouraging manner. Anyway, why given that adults have all the fun with personalized development! Teen Goal Setting

This article describes how these characteristics can be positive reinforcers for the teen who is interested in, but as yet unsure of, committing to goal setting as a process.

One of the realities that parents, teachers and other authority figures have to deal with is that teen role models in the media are sometimes, at least in our opinions, less than ideal! There is a perspective shift required here in order to see glimpses of what makes the seemingly outrageous behavior of teen celebrities so popular amongst their fans.

Without necessarily condoning their lifestyles and actions, it can be helpful to take an interest in what your teen is impressed with in his or her heroes. Because there are some aspects of what these celebrities have or believe in, that teens also wants for themselves.

This can lead to some interesting and informal conversations about the possible values, aspirations and talents your teen believes are driving their own behavior and expectations. Be open to moments like this where your teen can share what it is that they like or admire in their various role models. Teen Goal Setting

Teens respond particularly well to opportunities for volunteer work and other socially responsible activities. This desire to make a worthwhile contribution is connected with their own awareness of personal identity and, as with many adults, can become the source of worthwhile goals that make a positive difference in the world.

Encourage them, by personal example where possible, to look for opportunities to get involved in helping others less fortunate than themselves — the experience can teach so much about the social value of goal setting without you even needing to mention the term. Teen Goal Setting

A growing desire for independence is another area where goal setting is a skill that surfaces naturally. While financial realities might determine whether or not an older teen moves into a place of their own or with friends, a review of the possibilities can be very instructive in that the teen learns to see that the gap between the goal and the reality, while large, can be bridged.

Teen Stress Management

Posted by admin, under Stress Management

Typical teenagers normally go through a stressful period due to certain life circumstances they are in. Apart from the pangs of growing-up due to physical and psychological changes that they have to face, there are a lot of concerns and pressures that they have to tackle, and there may be concrete reasons for them to be stressed about.

Experts say that teen stress management is not entirely about management alone. It ought to focus on love and mutual respect. If you are a parent, it all boils down to your response to one significant question – How much do I love my teen? If you do love your teen, you ought to know him/her, and if you know him/her, you should be able to understand him/her; therefore there is no need to manage anything, because, as people say, love will take care of the rest.

However, prior to discussing teen stress management, parents should be aware about the types of pressures that a normal teen is likely to encounter in society, First on the list is peer pressure- such as pressures to try out smoking, drinking and even drugs. Teens may also face pressure from problems related to their studies and school. Finally, some parents may not be aware that their teenager may already be experiencing stress due to issues within the family. The problems may be related to strained relations between parents or the family may be going through a crisis.

Parents who are struggling to contend with the issues of teen stress management ought to know that there’s a lot that they can do. They must be cognizant of the fact hat there are a lot of things that a teenager has to learn, and even if they don’t speak up, they look up to their parents for guidance and support.

First and foremost, parents need to understand the fact that their teen is born into a society which is quite different from the one they were born into. As such, the resolution of issues that their teen faces cannot be realized as long as they insist on seeing those issues from their own point of view. There is such a thing as “empathy” which parents must have these days. This means that they should try to understand and enter into their teen’s feelings. Without it, any advice would sound generic, authoritarian and trumped up.

The parental approach to teen stress management should rely upon family dynamics. The home should be a place where the teenager feels safe and secured. The home should be perceived by the teen as a place of refuge where there are people who understand and care about whatever it is that they are going through. Parents should value their relations with their teen and cherish it as something precious. Once parents earn the trust and respect of their teens, then everything would fall into their proper perspective.
