Positive Parenting Tips for Dealing with a Challenging Teen

By getting to the root of the issues and teaching teens how to control their behaviour, fewer arguments between teens and parents will occur.

According to Open Sky Wilderness Therapy, teenagers who have consistent challenging behaviour have other emotions afoot that they are too scared, embarrassed, or may not even recognize. Some of those emotions, per the publication, include:

•          Feeling hurt

•          Feeling insecure

•          Being scared

•          Feeling powerless

•          Not feeling seen or heard

•          Feelings of anger

•          Feeling lonely

•          Feel like life is out of control
