What Parents and Teenagers need to know about Discipline

Daily tips will today look at these questions and its answers as regards to parents and how they handle their teenagers they are: Why are Teenagers disciplined? Does it mean teenagers cant live with their parents without being desciplined? Check out this challenge, the family rule is cell phones off 9:00 p.m, but twice this week you caught your daughter texting past midnight. Your curfew is 10:00 p.m., but last night once again you came home after 11:00. Teenagers can do better. But first you need to know why he or she seems to be flouting your rules. The good news? What appears to be outright difiance may be something far less serious. WHY IT HAPPENS Unclear boundaries. Some teenagers ignore rules in order to see what that they can get away with. For example, if a parent has said that a certain misdeed would result in a particular consequence, a teenager might test tge boundaries to see if the parent will follow through. Are such teenagers becoming hardened rebels? Not necessarily. The fact is, teens are more likely to be lax about obeying rules when parents have not been consistent in enforcing consequences or when the boundaries have not been clearly defined. Rigidity. Some parents try to control their teenager with an endless list of rules. When the teen disobeys, the parent gets angry and imposes even more rules. Often, however, that only makes matters worse. The book Parent/Teen Breakthrough, explains '' The more you try to gain control, the more your teenager resists,'' adding '' The control approach feels like trying to spread cold butter on soft bread: it just tears the bread apart, and the solution isn't to spread harder.'' We know that proper discipline can help. Different from ''punishment'' which means to make someone suffer while ''discipline'' basically means to teach. Tips on What Teenagers Can Do Be clear: Teenagers need to know precisely what is expected of them and what the consequences of disobedience will be. Be reasonable. Show yourself to be a flexible parent by according more freedom as it is earned. Teenagers should also be reasonable and wait for the right time to approach their parents. What now is the answer to those questions? I bet you know it! For post like this and others follow us on facebook below Feel free share!

Globe Round up: United states, Norway, Brazil, India, and Czech Republic.

United states
over the past ten years, airport security screeners have confiscated
some 50 million prohibited items, according to a U.S Department of
Homeland Security report. In 2011 alone, screeners prevented more than
1,200 fireams from being taken onto planes. Most of the owners said
that they had simply forgetten they were carring a gun.
* Brazil
Education authorities have begun to embed electronic chips into school
uniforms in an effort to fight truancy. A parent gets one text message
when sensors detect his or her child's arrival at school and a
different message if the child is more than 20 minutes late.
* Norway
The lutheran Church is no longer Norway's official state religion. In
an unprecedented measure, the Norwaywegian Parliament voted to amend
the constitution and losen the bonds between Church and State.
* Czech Republic
When surveyed, two thirds of Czech employees said that they feel
obligated to answer work-related calls, e-mails, or text messages when
they are not a work. More than a third consider it rude not to reply
immediately.
* India
Despite a surge of almost 50 percent in food production over the past
20 years and stockpiles of 71 million tons of rice and wheat, india
still struggles to feed its people. Only about 40 percent of
stockpiled grains reach indian homes. Corruption and waste are part of
the problem.
