Time_Key to parenting

If your child is upset then just give them some space let them breath but still keep a eye out for them because you don’t want them to do something stupid.Depending on how bad it is e.g. if its a boy/girl friend brake up then give them a day but if its something like a fail in a test after about a one hour or two knock on their door and go and sit by them and just ask them things like what subject it was or what they think they did wrong.If they say stuff that I’m so stupid or I will never do well on this subject.Try to offer comments like ; I’m sure you tried your best and you will be able to continue with this topic, maybe next time we could study together and work harder at it.Comfort them but don’t baby them and after a day or two don’t still be babying them.Try to encourage them to continue to move on help them find ways to move on.However if it is something very serious and you don’t know how to help/deal with it organize and encourage meting with a consul or if they are harming them these send them to hostipal as soon as you can.

Being Different to your friends Part 1

Its okay to be different to your friends like be the person who listens to heavy metal and not Pop.That's good, it brings variety into your 'circle of friends'.But sometimes your friends cant cope with the change.If you think its just a phase your going through then speak up tell your friends that, but if you think you like the new you and plan on staying that way that's okay too.Tell your friends that you think your changing and if they don't like it say you are still the same person its just you like different things.If they still cant cope don't get angry.When we're angry we to things we wish we didn't do so stay cool, use your I statements maybe you just need to find a new group of friends.Sure it will be hard but its most likely whats best for you.
