Talk, Don’t Scold: The New Teen Playbook!

  1. Encourage polite behavior and assign small household chores with clear goals.
  2. Help them stay connected — arrange regular calls with trusted friends or relatives.
  3. Let them spend a few hours at a family friend’s home, helping out with small tasks.
  4. Send them on solo grocery runs to build confidence and independence.
  5. Start a family recipe book together and add new entries each week.
  6. Distract, engage, and communicate — keep the conversation flowing.
  7. No scolding — just calm, open talk.

Just stay around — that’s all they need. Teenagers today have become one of the most misunderstood and untouchable groups. They shout, slam doors, break things, and scream their hearts out. They’re overwhelmed by gadgets, endless competition, and social media filled with the lives of ultra-rich kids, heavy makeup, fake perfection, and flashy brands. They’re dealing with five times more pressure than ever before.

How to handle your lazy and abusive teenager’s study menace? Parents must watch.

Many parents spend a large amount of money on regular studies, hoping their child will do well in school. But sometimes, a child keeps ignoring studies, becoming lazy, rude, or disrespectful. Scolding or forcing them does not bring any change. Instead of wasting money on tuition or coaching, it may be better to understand their interests and guide them toward practical learning.

Every child has a hidden talent. Some may not love books, but they can learn technical or creative skills such as computer basics, electrical work, graphic design, video editing, photography, or even cooking.


These skills can make them independent and confident. When a child starts exploring something they enjoy, their behavior often improves because they feel proud of their ability and success.
Parents should show patience and love while setting limits on bad behavior.


Teach respect through example, not anger. A child’s negative attitude can change when they are given responsibility and trust. Encourage small earning opportunities or tasks that teach discipline. Instead of just studying for marks, help them learn how to live a meaningful and skilled life.

In today’s world, technical knowledge can open more doors than traditional studies alone. So, guide your child wisely—help them turn laziness into skill and rudeness into focus.
