Tricky Teenage Time



The teenage age is a very tricky period of time not only for the parents, but also for the teens themselves. One of the biggest phenomena in their life yet hits them, which is puberty. They undergo physical changes, which are natural, but more importantly, during this period their behavior also majorly changes. You may always see your child as a kid, who is young, naïve and incapable of handling themselves in the outside world. But the sooner you accept that they are growing up and would eventually be doing things independently, the better for you. This does not mean completely letting go of them and not being bothered about their wellbeing. It only means finding a balance between giving them enough space and freedom, and taking authority over them.

It is typical for teenagers to start keeping things to themselves, or prefer sharing more with friends than with the family members. As they grow older they tend to close off the family a bit, which is nothing to worry about, especially considering all the advancements in technology keeping them engrossed in the virtual world. However, if you feel that they are behaving in an unusual way or something is bothering them but they are unable to open up to you and have that conversation, that is when you should make their decision for them and consider child therapy. It is not restricted to children only; child therapists help adolescents facing difficulties too.

You do not want your children to go through horrors like in the TV series 13 Reasons Why. It is alright for your child to have some secretive fun of their own but you should be able to tell when a line is getting crossed, and immediately take action, like consult psychologists, to prevent further damage. You can approach any therapist for teens in Mumbai. In fact almost all Tier 1 and 2 cities should have counselors to guide you. Therefore, do not over analyze your child’s behavior because it may be the age, but at the same time pay attention to their habits and seek help when required.

MENDING AND HEALING RELAITONSHIPS

There is no relationship in the world that does not face problems between the two people. When we talk about a relationship, we have to keep in mind that we are talking about two different individuals coming together to form a beautiful bond of love. Two people with different ideologies and different thinking striving to be accommodating of each other’s needs and maintaining a balance in their own. This system of accommodating and acceptance is going to have a little bit of friction leading to minor fights. But what is important, is how the two people make up after the fight and whether they accept and move on from the incident. Sometimes, a fight or a situation can be so gruesome that both or one of the individuals cannot let go of it. That is when they need the help of a relationship advisor who may be a friend close to the family, a family member or a professional who is trained to deal with couples’ issues on a daily basis. This relationship advisor’s main aim is to first...

Feeling sad is normal. We all feel sad from time to time. The reasons for this sadness may vary.

HOW CHILDHOOD SCARS AFFECT ADULTHOOD

We all face different types of problems in our life. These can be problems in different areas in our lives. It could be our work, our family, our love life, relationship with our friends, career related or something else. Nobody is totally happy and without problems in life. But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all. We face a problem, we tackle it and then we move forward to the next one waiting for us. Cycle of life as some people like to call it.

This in turn leads to a lot of mental stress for an individual. There are many instances when one might seek help from people close to them. But if even that doesn’t seem to help, then maybe seeing a counselling psychologist might. In today’s world that moves forwar...
