Parents complain that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers say
exactly the same thing about their parents! According to a recent survey, the most common
arguments between parents and teenagers are those regarding untidiness and household
chores. On the one hand, parents go mad over untidy rooms, clothes dropped on the floor
and their children’s refusal to help with the housework. On the other hand, teenagers lose
their patience continually when parents tell them off for dropping the towel in the bathroom,
not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The survey, conducted by St George University, showed that different parents have
different approaches to these problems. However, some approaches are much more
successful than others. For example, those parents who yell at their teens for their
untidiness, but later clear up after them, have fewer chances of changing their teens’
behaviour. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the consequences of their
actions are more successful. For instance, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with
the shopping don’t find their favourite food in the fridge, they are forced to reconsider their
actions.
Psychologists say that the most important thing in parent-teen relationships is
communication. Parents should talk to their teens, but at the same time they should listen to
what their children have to say. Parents should tell their teens off when they are untidy, but
they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a
two-way process. It is only by listening to and understanding each other that problems
between parents and teens can be solved.
