Good parents are not parents who necessarily know it all. Good parents are parents who are willing to seek help and information when they need it in order to meet the unique needs of their teens.
Raising teenagers can be difficult at best. While it may seem like an alien life form invaded the body of your formerly sweet and lovable child, your teenager really is not that much different than the child you once knew. He or she is simply attempted to establish his or her own identity, and that means separating his or her identity from you as parent. This is a natural and normal process, and you should reassure yourself with the knowledge that it is just a short period of time in the life of your child and it will pass.
If you are having a difficult time dealing with a disrespectful, angry, or out of control teen, my new book will help you greatly with your frustrations as a parent of a difficult teenager. It’s called NO-NONSENSE PARENTING FOR TODAY’S TEENAGER – How To Feel Like A Good Parent Even When Your Teenager Hates You.
Even as teenagers, your children need and want your love. Their attitudes can make it difficult to maintain a healthy relationship. It is important to understand that as much as your teenager wants your love, he or she also wants you to respect his or her individuality and burgeoning independence. When teens feel as though they are being treated like a children, if you are being “over” protective, if you expect your teen to believe what you believe and think what you think, your teen will rebel.
If you are struggling with a teen that will not listen, lacks motivation, is having trouble getting along at home and at school, is obsessed with technology or might be dealing with an addiction problem, this book can help you right today. NO-NONSENSE PARENTING FOR TODAY’S TEENAGER – How To Feel Like A Good Parent Even When Your Teenager Hates You is a book designed to help parents navigate the landmines of bringing up teenagers in a modern world of video games, internet, and cell phones.
Teens are under an enormous amount of pressure. Parents want them to do well in school and get into a good college and make decisions about their future.

Learn how to approach your teen and have open conversations that lead to better relationships, more trust, and less chaos in your home.

Preparing Your Teen For College
Posted by Norbert Georget in About Teenagers, Parenting Tips on July 27th, 2010
While you might begin thinking about your child’s college education while you are shopping for preschools, you probably won’t really start thinking about college seriously until your teen is in high school. There are definitely steps you can take to help ensure your teen has the tools to succeed in life and in college from the time your teens are toddlers.
Academic success comes from having a stable and loving home environment, encouragement and enthusiasm about learning, and regular access to books. Reading out loud to younger kids and encouraging older kids to read regularly helps ensure academic success. While the preschool your child attends probably won’t have an enormous effect on your teen’s college search, the environment you provide at home can have a direct impact.
One of the most important components of your teen’s college search is the application process, which should begin as soon as your teen starts high school. This should not be a high-pressure process; even once your teen chooses a school and course of study it’s likely to change at least once. But it is important to encourage your teen to think about his or her future and to start the college search by looking at what colleges offer courses of study that match your teen’s future career plans.
The college search is a long sometimes arduous process. Most stateside schools require minimum performance results on standardizes test scores like the SATs and the ACTs. All colleges will require a basic application and many will require supplemental applications, essays, and letters of reference.
Typically, your teen should be taking steps in the college search all through high school. In the freshman year, students take the PSAT (a preliminary SAT test that helps identify the student’s strengths). Your teen should be thinking about what subjects excite him or her and how those relate to future job possibilities.
As a sophomore, your teen should attend local college fairs hosted by the high school or local community colleges. He or she should also request catalogs and information from schools that are of interest. By the end of the sophomore year, your teen should narrow the college search by region, course of study, and other determining factors.
In your teen’s junior year, your college search can include making visits to college campuses, talking to financial aid counselors about tuition costs and available aid, and narrowing down the search to some final choices. By early October of the senior year, applications should be submitted, standardized tests should be taken, and supplemental materials should be requested, like transcripts from high school, letters of reference from teachers and coaches, and application fees.
Colleges will normally make early acceptance offers by December and regular acceptance offers by February or March, although the details of financial aid possibilities as well as scholarships might take longer to determine. Once the college search process is completed, your teen will be able to relax and enjoy the rest of his or her senior year, confident about the where he or she is headed and making plans and dreaming about the future.

The Secret of Parenting Teens
Posted by Norbert Georget in About Teenagers, Communication, Main Blog Posts, Parenting Tips on July 9th, 2010
Teenagers are the most susceptible group for succumbing to the various temptations presented to them, making parenting teens effectively even tougher. What adds to the difficulty is that most teens – even the ones who exhibit good decision making ability and reason more often than not – want nothing more than independence and the ability to make their own decisions about their lives. Teens have no capacity for understanding that even though they feel completely grown up and ready to take on the world that they are not.
Parenting teens comes with a special set of challenges – and a special set of rules. I like to tell parents that in many ways, parenting teens is a lot like parenting toddlers. In both cases, you’re dealing with strong-willed, sometimes ridiculously obstinate people who are trying very hard to establish their own personality. Toddlers are just small enough we can pick them up and put them in a playpen or lay them down to take a nap when things get really difficult. It’s not so easy with teens.
Yet there are effective ways for parenting teens that can make a difference both in your relationship and in the level of stress you’re both feeling. And really, if you’ve read my book or have been reading any of my other articles, you’ll know it’s not really much of a secret: the key to parenting teens successfully is COMMUNICATION. It’s exasperating sometimes to see a loving relationship between a parent and a teen deteriorate simply because neither side is willing to listen to what the other is saying or at the very least let go of their assumptions about what the other wants. That’s where communication comes in.
As a parent, it is okay to let down your guard and tell your teen that the reason you are involved and concerned and have rules they don’t like is because you love them, you want to keep them safe, and that you want to help guide them. The problem is that instead of telling teens how we feel as vulnerable human beings, many parents instead take a defensive attitude and resort to the “Because I said so” or “Because that’s the rule of the house” response.
The minute you’ve resorted to that, you’ve lost. If you approach your teen from the viewpoint that you support the fact that he or she is quickly growing into adulthood and should start taking on more responsibility and making more decisions about his or her own life, it can help your teen see that you are not the enemy. In fact, by “teaming up” with your teen and helping him or her to reach the goals they want to reach, you can break down the barriers between you and arrive more quickly at a new place in your relationship in which you can play the role you’re meant to play at this stage: guide and mentor.
Tear down the walls between you and your teen. Let them see that you worry about them and let them know that you love them. Loosen up the hold you have and encourage your teen’s independence. Support your teen’s individuality and desire to have his own or her own life. Only then can you begin to transform your relationship into one you can both live with.

Improving Parent – Teen Relationships In Your Family
Posted by Norbert Georget in Communication, Main Blog Posts, Parenting Tips on June 17th, 2010
Parent – teen relationships are difficult to manage at times. Parents often joke about dreading the teen years, but the joking is a sign of the real discomfort that lurks behind every thirteenth birthday and the teen relationships parents are unsure how to develop. It can be a difficult time for parents and teens, learning how to relate to each other with the new expectations and pressures that occur on both sides of the table. Parent – teen relationships are often fraught with heated emotions. Parents have difficulty handing control over to teens and teens have difficulty believing that they still need guidance and guidelines. Having teenagers definitely makes life a little more challenging.
Teenagers today have access to all kinds of knowledge – and while that knowledge gives parent – teen relationships an edge because it’s easier to see that others are experiencing the same issues and provides reassurance that both sides will survive, it also gives teens access to information that parents used to control. How, as a parent, do you manage your relationship with your teen given the access he or she has to information?
The best approach is transparency. The more direct and honest parents are with their teens, the more successful parent – teen relationships can be. Your teens are going to know about things that you did not know when you were their age. Instead of doling out information as your parents may have done with you, your role will be more of a mediator of information: it will be up to you to make sure that what information your teen is getting is followed by discussions with you that help them fit what they are seeing and learning into the larger scope of the morals and lessons you are trying to teach them.
A good example of how this can work to enhance parent – teen relationships is with movies and music. Even if you don’t allow anything but G-rated movies and music into your home, with iPods and cell phones, there is no doubt your teen will see and hear what is out there. Rather than rule with an iron fist and attempt to forbid your teen from taking part in these activities, do two things:
- Get to know the music and movies that teens are interested in so that you can make a fair judgment about the content, and
- Understand that you cannot control everything your teen sees and hears, but you can maintain open communication and help them understand that what they see and hear does not always reflect your beliefs, values, traditions, ideals, or expectations
Having frank discussions with your teens about the risks of sex, the lasting affects of drugs, the addictiveness of cigarettes and alcohol, and about treating people with respect will earn your teen’s attention and respect and improve parent – teen relationships. In study after study and survey after survey, teens are clear about what they expect from parent – teen relationships: they want the adults in their life to be straight with them, to treat them like the almost-grownup people that they are, and recognize their individuality. The more you do that, the better your relationship with your teen will be.

Turning Your Child Into a Mature Teenager
Posted by Norbert Georget in About Teenagers, Communication, Main Blog Posts, Parenting Tips on April 2nd, 2010
Somewhere around the time your child turns 8, 9, 10, or 11, he or she will discover that you are not the superhuman you always seemed to be. You will fall off the pedestal and become a human being with flaws, just like everyone else in the world. This is a devastating but necessary moment in every child’s life…it’s when they take their first steps toward recognizing themselves as separate individuals from you. It’s the beginning of the growing up process, one which will hopefully result in your child becoming a mature teen and a responsible, decent adult.
The struggle, of course, is getting from the point where they recognize you are simply human to the point where they are a mature teen without both of you tearing your hair out and disowning each other. In some families, this seems to happen naturally and easily, but it takes a lot more work that it might seem to from the outside to raise a responsible, mature teen, but there are some things you can do to help both of you get there in one piece.
Mutual Respect
Lots of parents complain that their teens are disrespectful, but earning a teen’s respect starts with you showing them how to be respectful. That means being respectful of your teen. It’s not easy; even a mature teen can be mouthy and critical and difficult to handle, but if you operate from a point of respect for your teen as an individual who is allowed to have different opinions and beliefs from yours, you will be helping to bring out the mature teen in your child. When you show respect, it’s easier to expect respect too.
Open, Honest Communication
Hiding behind your fears and insecurities will not help you raise a mature teen. No, it’s not easy to talk about sex, love, dating, life, choices, lying, homework, friends, driving, or anything else with the teen who is at an age where he or she feels invincible and omnipotent, but the more open and truthful you are with your teens the easier it will be for your teen to talk to you about the tough stuff. If they don’t talk to you about the challenges they face in life, you won’t have the opportunity to help guide them through each new challenge and help them learn how to handle it on their own.
Letting Go
It’s easy to just keep thinking you have to hold your teen’s hand every step of the way, but in truth, if you want to raise a mature teen, you have to let go and let your teen do some things independently, even if you can see that the end result will be something you would have wanted them to avoid. Letting go gradually can help make the process easier, but letting your teen have the ability to make choices and decisions while you are still there to help them deal with the consequences is an important part of raising a mature teen.
Keeping the Faith
There are days when you will wonder what that strange teenage being did with your son or daughter. Raising teens is difficult, and it does often feel like the child you gave birth to has been replaced by something much more terrifying. You and your teen will survive.

Positive Effects In Combating Teen Obesity
Posted by Norbert Georget in About Teenagers, Main Blog Posts, Medical and Illness Issues on March 2nd, 2010
In addition to all of the other stresses a teen faces, teen obesity is rising to the top of the list. Fast food and convenience foods have contributed significantly to the teen obesity problem we are seeing today. In a world where we want everything as big as we can get it, our teens don’t seem to be an exception. Teens eat more and exercise less. Unfortunately, the adults in their lives do not often set the best example. It is important to try to establish good nutrition habits at a young age. There are several contributing factors to our ever-expanding teens and their waistbands.
Sedentary Activities
Television and video games are two of the biggest contributors to teen obesity. When given the choice, a lot of teens are more likely to choose sitting in front of the television, computer, or video game over any outdoor activity. We need to get back to backyard family soccer and football games. Sports are a great way to encourage more physical activity. Every increase in activity is a step in the right direction to burn more calories to begin a path that will guide us towards a healthier youth.
Junk Food and Drink
Another major contributor to teen obesity is the amount of junk food and sugary drinks/soda pop that are so readily available. Even as adults, a lot of the time it is easier to grab a candy bar than to take the time and effort to prepare something healthier, yet if you set the right example from a young age with your kids, it can be an important first step. One of the things that parents—and teens—have to realize is that it is never too late to change eating and activity habits. Join your teen in developing better habits to help fight against teen obesity.
Health Effects of Teen Obesity
There are many negative effects teen obesity can have that will carry throughout their lifetime. It is common for obese teens to have problems with diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure. But health is not the only thing an obese teen struggles with. Obese teens often also face ridicule from their peers. While teen obesity is on the rise, there is still the model-thin mentality, especially among teen girls, thanks to the media. Being obese affects teen self confidence. It can lead to depression. The cost of being an obese teen is almost immeasurable. It can have a lifetime of lasting effects, both mental and physical.
Motivation
There are so many health benefits to becoming more active and making more nutritious choices. Being healthy can have such a positive effect on the mental well-being that is so important for teens and their successful, healthy navigation through adolescence. It is important to find the right kind of motivation for each individual teen. Motivation is especially important in the beginning to be successful in making the lifestyle change necessary to achieve health and weight loss goals. Starting to make healthier life choices can truly make a difference between life and death.

Coping With a Disrespectful Teen
Posted by Norbert Georget in About Teenagers, Communication, Disciplining, Extreme Teenager, Main Blog Posts, Parenting Tips on January 11th, 2010
It does not take long to reach your boiling point when you have a disrespectful teen. Whether they ignore you, talk back, or simply refuse to go along with house rules, you can quickly find yourself raising your voice, becoming completely exasperated, or even wanting to quit your job as a parent. It sometimes seems like teenagers know just what buttons to push to send you over the edge.
If you have a disrespectful teen, you do not have to give up. In fact, there are some very quick behaviors you can start practicing that will help stop disrespectful behavior once and for all. While not all of these practices will work in every situation or with every teen, if you are at your wit’s end with your disrespectful teen, it is worth giving these practices a try.
Learning to Walk Away
Often, as parents, you might feel as though you are obligated to remain engaged with your teen no matter what. Whether you feel you have to have the last word or you have to keep pushing until your teen acknowledges your point, you may be suffering through more disrespectful behavior than you need to.
If you are having a conversation (argument) with your teen and frustrated about the way the conversation is going, or if you do not want to allow the conversation to escalate into an argument, then you have to learn that it is ok to walk away. If your disrespectful teen is attempting to engage you in an argument or trying to get his or her way on something, firmly and quietly repeat your decision, then let them know you will not continue the conversation, and walk away. Even if you have to leave the room, lock yourself in your bedroom, and jog in place to burn off the frustration, it is better than continuing to engage your teen on that level.
Tie Privileges to Behavior
You owe your teen a roof over his or her head, food to eat, and your love. Everything else (cell phones, video games, internet access, cable, free time with friends, money for the dance on Friday night, dating, a car, etc) are all EXTRAs. It might not seem like that sometimes, but if you start recognizing that each of the items your teen holds dear is most likely a want and not a necessity, then you can offer your disrespectful teen a choice. If your teen chooses to treat you and the other members of your family with respect and follow the house rules, then there will be privileges to have. If your teen chooses to behave disrespectfully, that behavior is a demonstration of a lack of maturity and privileges can be denied or removed from the teen’s life.
Following Through
In order for these tips to work, you have to be willing to follow through. You cannot just threaten to take away your disrespectful teen’s cell phone; if the behavior continues, you actually have to do it. No, you do not have to wrestle the phone out of your teen’s hand. Simply call the company and suspend the service. You will make your point, and in most cases, your disrespectful teen will choose respect over lack of privilege.
