4-2 Journal: Raising a Teen Nicole Connelly PSY 322: Adolescent Development Professor Seth Oliver November 14th, 2023 There are many aspects that gfo into raising a child. It can be challenging, joyful, and

rewarding. Transitioning children into early adolescence can bring many difficult for both the parents and the child. At this stage children often start to grow quickly, body changes happen, have concrete thinking, and request more privacy (Allen & Waterman, 2019). This is the beginning of children showing more independence from their familes. It is hard to see your loving child turn more moody and independent. Although they seem like they do not need your guidence anymore deep down they know you are the most important person in thier lives. Some stratagies that I have found that can help raising an early adolecnet child is to try and reduce stress on the relationship being able to have a sense of humor and understand that the fusterating behvaiors are normal and will pass (Pike, 2022). Creating a safe welcoming home so that your child can come to you if there is need, having an aprochable parent is helpful to know what is going on in your adolecnts life. Understanding that each stage of your childs life brings new and exciting adventures of being a parent. As much as you are their parnet thisis the years to show them that you can also be a friend, and show trust in them. Thoughout my childhood this is the same strategies that my parents took raising me and my brother. My parents showed trust in us and showed us that they are there for any conversation that we needed to have, wheather is was good or bad. They showed us no judgement and in our decisions and helped guid us to make the correct ones. This approch that my parents took kept my brother around the house more and wanting to hang out with our parents. Even today we still see our parents as an extenstion to our friends and people to go to when we need help. I will use this approach withm my children to show them that I am always avaliable for them and will guide them to make good choices. References
