When we were young...

When your teens start to find you not so cool any more, act out and don’t spare them the blushes.

When our children are young, they think the world of us.  We are their everything, their superheroes, their A to Z.  But as they grow up, they see that we have feet of clay after all.  Nobody is perfect.  Not us, neither them.

When young, our children might embarrass us by blurting out family secrets, or with childlike innocence said something embarrassing out loud.  By the time they reach their teens, the tables are turned and they become easily embarrassed by the things we say or do.

Those days were when they were young and does not even understand the difference between what to tell, and what is to be kept between families.  But as they grow up, we need to teach them those rules of the thumb.

Here are a few tips on to how to get along with our teenagers:
1.       Try not to dress in a way they don’t like.
2.       Avoid posting uninvited comments or inappropriate photos on Facebook
3.       Do not behave in ways that annoy them
4.       Avoid being overly affectionate with them
5.       Do not call them by their get name in front of their friend
7.       Avoid acting their age when they are with their friends.
