Parenting often requires parents to act more as facilitators rather than leaders. Parents tend to interact with their children based on their own past experiences, offering advice like, "We've faced this before, so you should do this or that." However, this approach can sometimes be flawed because society, its systems, and circumstances evolve with each generation. One constant, though, is ‘emotion,’ which manifests differently at various stages of life.
Adolescence, in particular, is a phase marked by heightened emotional turbulence. This includes competition with peers, romantic attractions, concerns about appearance and style, and sometimes confusing friendship with love. In these moments, teachers and parents need to understand the adolescent mindset and respond to mistakes or unexpected behavior with patience and empathy. It’s essential to consistently remind children of their goals and encourage them to prioritize their individuality. This helps them manage their emotions and prevents feelings from overwhelming their sense of self.
