Teen Behavior - How To Get Out Of The Vicious Circle And Start Living Again!
Are you involved more and more with a yelling match with your teenager? How do you get out of it? Is violent behavior such as screaming, cursing and damaging the furniture happening with sickening frequency? These are questions about teen behavior that many parents do not know how to solve.
The problem is that violent teens are more than likely to grow up as violent adults. But interesting research from Northwestern University at the Feinberg School of Medicine shows that this vicious circle can be broken. They did some research and they surveyed two groups of parents. One group had sensibly learned some behavior modification techniques while the other group had done nothing.
The children of the parents who had actually learned some of the strategies and techniques of behavior therapy, when compared with those in the other group, actually experienced a reduction of up to 65% in violent teen behavior and other problem behavior.
Some parents threaten to ground their teens for longer and longer periods because of their violence, aggression, lying and physical violence. The only problem with that is that the parents very often suffer more than the teens themselves, because they have to live with them! Again, the parents who have applied some of the techniques of behavior therapy never have to bother with that sort of punishment as there are much more effective ways of dealing with this sort of teen behavior.
If you have a structure built into the home routine and this is clearly displayed, there is no need to nag or even ask them if they have done X and Y. All you have to do is point to the schedule to remind them. You do not even have to ask them or make a request. In this way, you are de-personalizing the request and that means less personal conflict.
Now that you have learned that there are easy ways of stopping the yelling and screaming matches which are typical of teen behavior, why not go just one step further? You could soon manage to get out of the vicious circle so that you are no longer a prisoner in your own home. Visit my website for some practical advice and you will never look back.
