Parenting Teenagers Support Group

My son has been really trying to controle his behavior. The thing is I know it's to much for him to handle. I feel he will explode. He is being very quiet and trying not to pick on his sister. I relize now he is not being himself. I remember he said that to me once. That I dont allow him to be himself. Well, he is right. Of course I dont want him to act out. But, maybe he just cant controle it. I have been very affectionate with him and trying my best to avoid any chance to getting into and argument or debate. Or his but whys. I see how will actually do as I ask. I just have to avoid getting angry if he dosent do it. He wants to do it but when he decides. That is what has always done, it drives me crazy. So he feeds of my emotions. You know when your on a time schedual. You have deadlines. Making progress today.

Hi Sabrina,

As you know, teenage years can be so challenging. Hormones are all over the place and peer pressure can be difficult. I am so glad to hear that you feel that you are making progress. One day at a time.

Take care. Look at yourself in the mirrow and say, "I'm a great mom."
