Twelve percent of parents worry that their child’s anger could lead to problems, according to a new C.S. Many parents also expressed concern about the example they set for their children, with 70% saying they sometimes model poor anger management themselves. These parents are also more likely to feel they might be demonstrating poor anger management techniques, worry about the potential problems caused by their child’s anger and note that their child has encountered negative repercussions when angry. In fact, 30% of parents report they have not received advice on how to help their child manage their anger. Although more than 60% of parents say their child has learned anger management techniques at school, less than half say the school provides resources to help parents address the issue at home.

As a therapist who works with teenagers, I routinely hear from clients that their parents consistently criticize kids’ phone use but don’t curb their own use. Parents often tell me the same thing — their kids are glued to their phones and don’t listen when they try to engage them. And when parents feel rejected, they also turn their attention to their phones. I tell parents and kids alike that everyone needs to make changes in their technology habits to restore positive communication and trust. Keeping phones out of the bedroom is a common rule among parents of tweens and teens, yet this rule doesn’t often apply to the parents (guilty as charged).

And it turns out, humor like that may be an important skill in parenting, according to new research. More than a laughYes, humor can get your family laughing, but it also serves a lot of important functions in parenting, Levi said. Other times, using humor can create a bond between you and your child from which you can better solve problems, she added. “The real question is, how can humor be used appropriately for the children? The best humor you can use with your children is the kind that puts the two of you on the same side, she added.

A new study that tracked 184 people (99 females and 85 males) for two decades starting at age 13 found that empathy is catching. When we practice empathy with our teens, we literally pay it forward for the next generation. “These mothers showed parental warmth with their teens, and these teens learned empathy in the moment. Handle your own stressStress can be contagious in families, and you can’t help your teens if you are feeling compromised. Empathy development doesn’t occur within the context of a single monologue, rather a series of chats over time.

“Maycember” is a term that online content creators the Holderness family coined to describe the sheer chaos of the month of May, much like the month of December. Exhausted teenagers are running on empty as the school year comes to an end, while expectations of parental involvement remain high. I’m always grateful for the people who volunteer their time to head up committees on the PTA or parent board. Prioritize mental healthNo good comes from a family running around from event to event without a moment even to enjoy the ones they attend. In a few short weeks, Maycember will be behind us for another year, and we’ll all breathe a sigh of relief.

I was stuck in the revolving door of work and parenting, and nothing about my personal life was Instagram-worthy. Somewhere between 2006 and now, parenting became a crash course in achievement, with social media grading us at every turn. Children and parents alike have unknowingly entered a relentless pressure cooker under the constant spotlight of social media. These can result in a cycle of increased mental health issues for both the parent and the child. There are two social media tricks that can be life-changing for adults: Mute accounts (you’re the only one who will know!)

Relational aggression among teens isn’t anything new, but it can be especially hideous when it plays out alongside cyberbullying.

CNN: Why are teens lecturing parents about stuff like no one ever lived before they were born? Hurley: It’s common for people of different generations to have different ideas about how to handle difficult parenting moments. Hurley: When we are dismissive of teen voices, teens get the message that we don’t value their experiences and opinions. One reason teens might feel somewhat disconnected from parents is that a lot has changed since their parents were teens. Instead of feeling upset by the teen expert living in your home, try coming from a place of curiosity.

☆ Let Kids Get Bored. It’s Good for Them.

But the reality is that boredom is “normal, natural and healthy,” said Dr. Westgate, whose research focuses on what boredom is, why people experience it and what happens when they do. “Guarding kids from ever feeling bored is misguided in the same way that guarding kids from ever feeling sad, or ever feeling frustrated, or ever feeling angry is misguided,” she said. One way parents can help children, particularly younger ones, learn to manage boredom is to work with them on developing what Dr. Westgate called greater emotional granularity. For instance, you can help them to distinguish between feeling sad or bored. “Name it to tame it,” a phrase coined by the psychiatrist Dan Siegel, is a technique many child development experts use to help children identify their feelings.

She specializes in work with tweens, teens and young adults. The fact that diet culture all over social media targets grown women is bad enough, but such messaging also trickles down to tweens and teens. But as we enter the winter holiday season, shame-based diet culture pressure, often wrapped up with toxic positivity to appear encouraging, increases. “Parents are often made to feel helpless in the face of TikTokers, peer pressure or wider diet culture, but it’s important to remember this: parents are influencers, too,” said Hanson. “Talk openly about it.”She suggests asking the following questions when discussing people’s messaging around diet culture:● Who are they?
