Straight from the Heart of A Teen Dilemma

Straight From The heart of A Teen Dilemma
- Author - Stuti Kwatra, Class IX


The age of adolescence, the so-called “Golden Age”. So, here I am going to focus on what sorts of problems are faced by us adolescents or rather known “teens”. First, parents start expecting things from their children as they grow. We teens get a lot of parental pressure and get frustrated. 

Some thoughts that commonly come to a child’s mind are, “Why am I suddenly a responsible one?” “Why do I have to study so hard?” “Why can’t I text my friends instead of studying?” 

Apart from this, we get a lot of peer pressure and get pressurized by our friends. Take an example - if the friend gets good result on a particular assignment and a child scores low, he gets pressurized and his confidence level drops. If a child’s friend goes out for a party and he is not able to, the child starts blaming his parents, while parents only would want their child to be safe. 

An adolescent goes through a lot of emotional changes. He is happy one minute and the next minute he is angry and frustrated for small reasons. He also gets confused in what he should do and what he wants to do. Mind and heart at contradiction you see! Take another example - if the child has to attend a birthday party but he has to take a class test the next day. If you ask me, the best option for him will be to plan and prepare for test in advance knowing that he had to attend the party.

Teaching Kids Patience

Patience is a virtue that can be instilled in children. Patience teaches children the value of delaying gratification, a skill necessary for maturity. Patience can help develop the ability to think through and resolve problems; it can counteract impulsivity and acting out behaviors. The value of patience lies in its ability to lead to inner calm and emotional strength of character. Teaching patience by example helps children learn resilience, self-containment, and the ability to self-soothe. These are qualities needed for emotional maturity. General Tips for Parents on Teaching Patience to Children Teach by modeling . Refrain from snapping impatiently at your children.
