9 Ways to Help Your Teenager Become more Mature
One of the most volatile and vulnerable age groups is definitely teenage. Children falling in this age group are invariably irritable, whiny, rebellious and headstrong. Slamming doors, rolling eyes, quick retaliation are characteristics of the teenaged kids. Intimidated by all this, are you? Don’t be. Here are some secure ways of helping your teen become more sensible and mature.
1. Talk to them in a mature manner
Squealing, high-fiving, laughing, blinking of eyes, talking fast are just a few of the manifestations of immature teenage language. Observe whether you often include these in your conversations. If yes, avoid them. Adopt a deeper, more serious tone of voice and choose your words carefully. See to it that your vocabulary is more parent-like than friend-like. It pays to be a strict parent, at times.

2. Be a great example
Children learn manifold through practical examples. Transform yourself into a role model. If you want your child to conduct himself gracefully, then you too need to be a personification of grace and poise. Set a precedence.
3. Give them responsibilities
Unless you give them responsibilities, how will they learn to handle them? Start out with simple tasks like walking the dog, watering the plants and cleaning their rooms. Do not entertain any excuses in this regard. Once they know that it’s their job and they alone have to do it, you can put bigger responsibilities on their growing shoulders.

4. Ask them to dress the part
Wearing T-shirts ten times looser than their size or cutting off jeans with razor blades comes with the teenage package. You just need to show them that dressing in a proper manner is necessary for being acknowledged as a mature adult. By the way, teens simply love being considered grown-ups!
5. Let them make mistakes
Not every time can a person be right, right? Most often than not, teens go wrong. Let them make mistakes and learn from them. Sometimes, not bailing them out of tricky situations can prove a blessing. This’ll teach them to be more responsible, mature and independent.
