Parenting Questions/Answers
Dear Gratitude, My teenaged daughter locks herself up in her room as soon as she returns home from school & has become a total rebel. Please Help!! Asked by vrinda from India Dear Vrinda, Please don't worry about it too much. It is just a phase and she will be out of it soon. Almost every teenager goes through it, I went through it myself. Don't make it a big issue and don't pressure her to talk to you. However do let her know that when ever she is ready to talk, you are always there to listen to her. She will come to you sooner or later if it is something serious. In the mean time if she is out of her room, make light conversation with her not about any thing serious. You can talk about a new movie you have seen or a book you are reading. Don't mention the subject of her being in her room all the time because the more you will press this point, more annoyed and difficult she will get. Don't get stressed out about this situation and maintain a positive attitude at all times.
My younger daughter wants to give up studies & become a DJ. How do I bring her to her senses? Please Help! Asked by vrinda from India Dear Vrinda, I would suggest that you should stop telling her that her choice is wrong because the more you will tell her this; more determine she will be to pursue this choice. I remember when I was at college I wanted to do exactly opposite of what my mum wanted. So drop this subject for a while it will just cause tension between the two of you. However have a heart to heart talk with your daughter and tell her that although you don't agree with her decision but you will support her anyway. Make sure she knows that you are always there for her. You never know may be she will be really good at it. The most successful people in this world are the ones who really love and enjoy what they do. My very best to you and your daughter, may she have a very bright future.
