How should parents deal with adolescents of gen Z?

and not act like a parent. Remember this is the age of the rebellious due to the advancement on all fronts in society. Be a friend and talk it out with them. You will be amazed to learn a lot about them this way.

Coaching, and not coercing, is the best method to handle them. They should be treated as friends and share both the sides, allowing them to distill the wisdom that best suits the situation and condition. If you enhance their comprehension, then their rebellious attitude towards parents would change.

The parents need to participate in the growth of the children. At the same time be conscious of the fact that they need to grow out of their times when issues of liberty were taboo in their times. The parents have to become friends. Must know the difference between being harsh and being firm. Inculcating good values among their children all through the formative stages and explaining the meaning of relationships at various levels is a must. The talk on Sex, love as well as love making (in the present context), the necessity or not of having boy or girl friends, and the limits of exposure to such relation ships must be discussed with growing children. The kids are fairly well aware today and would understand their parents better. On of the cuff suggestion, that DTH services should have the facility to pick and choose TV channels so that the subscriber parents can exercise some influence as to which TV serials could be viewd intheir homes. There are a host of channels and shows which depict family relations in very poor light and in a horrible mix of the unimaginable. Unfortunately the channels come as a bundled package. In homes where girls are growing up, the mothers have a real tough job to do. But I remember reading an article onthe net where the author suggested 1000 days of patient conduct with a pre teen or a tenage girl. I do subscribe to that view. It takes about a 1000 days for a teenaged girl to transform into her mother's friend. The mother has to be willing, and the father supportive. Great debate. Thanx for the invite and warm regards.

Only way any organisation/human being can be brought to heel is by cutting source of funds. It worked for nations. It works for human beings also. They are getting an un-reasonable amount of pocket-money. More perhaps than the initial salary that most of us started out with. Cut this dowm if he cannot respond to normal requests.

This is very fine and most modern world can make better relationship with parents and their kids

We are the friends and enemy of ourselves. Sometimes, we damage a lot due to erratic behavior and relationship. Today, we are more sensitive and reactive to any small issues. Parents need to be careful for themselves as well as for their kids.

Mr Mohanty: I am agree with your thought..these people has been involved in so many thing and not able to give some moment of life to understand each other weather its relative or other. just make them into hue& cry..i just say give some space to individual life.
