Being a Good Parent During Your Child's Adolescent Period (Part 3)
A child’s adolescent period scares many parents. They are expecting a teenager to rebel and defy. Perhaps they remember their own childhood, perhaps it is a common belief. But this period doesn’t need to be too painful. Parents just need to keep in mind three things:
1. A good parent is happy.
2. A good parent is patient.
3. A good parent is fair.
3. A parent must be fair. For teenagers a parent is good as long as the parent is fair. Fairness, or justice of a parent, is “more important than food, sweets, toys, and even love” according to S.Soloveychik. Only a fair parent becomes a natural authority and a role model to follow and to respect. The problems of poor parental authority and children’s rebelion turn out to be problems of justice.
