| You may give them an inch, but make no
mistake about it, they'll take a whole mile. They may rebel, complain, and even say they hate you, but when you're moving with your teens, you must exhibit the patience and serenity of a Buddhist monk. Especially if they have to switch schools. Especially high school! And especially if they have to leave their friends. Teenagers have had more time to grow and develop an attachment with their social environment. Expect some moping and acting up early on and expect it to continue as long as a month after the move. It'll be easy for you to become irritated and impatient but it is important that you deal with your child in the best manner possible. Granted, they may not want to talk to you right away but you should always let it be known that you're available at any time. And they'll never be alone. How can they in the age of instant messaging and wireless phones? They'll be in constant contact with their friends. These friends, no matter how much you disapprove of their tattoos and piercings, only want the best for your child. They'll help your kids cope by constantly reassuring them and dishing out advice. Kids understand kids the best. True you were once their age, but that was many, many years ago... You may balk at this hands-off approach, but chances are, you've raised your children right. And here's the kicker: Teens are very resilient. Parents just have to weather a few storms before the realization hits. |
