Quiz: Are You Sabotaging Your Teen's Social Life?

Wednesday March 5, 2008
What is a 'teen social life', anyway? Let’s define it by what it isn’t first. It really isn’t a way for teens to go out and look for trouble, although it may seem that way at times. It is a way for teens to develop friendships, reduce stress and work on their identity and self-esteem. A social life is an important part of a teen’s schedule and a much needed one. So, how are you about letting your teen enjoy his/her social life? Take our parenting quiz and share your experiences in our comments section.

My daughter has been unable to attend most of high school due to stress & anxiety. Socializing with teens is very difficult for her and all of her friends have forgotten her. What would you suggest to do?

WE SOMETIMES HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS TO OUR OWN QUESTIONS, JUST FROM READING YOUR SITUATION IT SEEMS YOU INITALLY ALLOW YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER TO BELIEVE SHE HAS A PROBLEM THAT MADE SENSE NOT TO ATTEND SCHOOL. NOW YOU ARE SEEKING ANSWERS THAT FOLLOW THE ORIGINAL SITUATION, UNLESS YOU GUYS CAN FIND A PROPER SOLUTION TO THE ORIGINAL YOU WILL ALWAYS LOOK FOR ANSWERS THAT GREW OFF OF THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. HOPE MY COMMENT WAS HELPFULL, AND BEST OW WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER.
