Teenagers have many behavioral problems and parents must be willing to make an effort to understand their needs, what they are going through and how to deal with them.

Here are the most important problems teenagers face and how to deal with them, according to the website "Moon Junction":

Increased use of communication devices and social media

Using communication devices can become addictive and affect your child's life and behavior. And social media can open doors for strangers who can take advantage of your naive T******, which can be dangerous.

The solution to the problem lies in enforcing strict rules on the use of communication devices, monitoring how they use the internet and encouraging them to be open about what they do online.

Another way to deal with this problem is to limit the amount of time your T****** can spend texting and calling their friends or on social media when they're at home.

Mood swings

Mood swings are common in teenagers as they are sometimes happy and sometimes irritable. Mood swings can sometimes indicate depression, so parents need to distinguish between teenage rebelliousness, mood swings, and depression.

One of the common mistakes parents make is to underestimate what their teenage son is going through. You may feel that your child is overreacting and this will make them feel misunderstood. Avoid giving advice or being off topic. Instead of ignoring their reaction, try to listen and empathize.

If you feel there are real mental health concerns, your T****** can see a mental health professional or your doctor.

aggressiveness

Your teenage son may get very angry with you for incomprehensible reasons and may become more argumentative with you and this anger may turn into an aggressive and violent feeling, which may endanger him and others.

Parents often interact violently with angry teenagers, which can make things worse, so parents should avoid yelling at their children as this can backfire. The only way to calm an angry T****** is to be calm with them, find ways to control your anger, and listen to what your T****** has to say. Avoid arguing as much as possible and let him vent his anger. Once he has finished speaking, he will calm down and this is where you can encourage him to speak to you calmly and teach him healthy ways to express anger instead of aggression and violence.

Lying or concealing facts

Parents may feel frustrated when they discover that their son is lying or hiding things from them, and the fact that his new sense of independence makes him feel that it is not necessary to tell you everything.

Honesty is a quality you should encourage your children to build. Teach them to tell you the truth by setting an example. You have an open channel of communication with them, allowing them to share anything and everything without hesitation. When children see their parents being honest about everything, including their own mistakes, they will learn to do the same.

Challenging rules and arguing

مراهق ٥.jpeg (42.3 KiB) Viewed 1496 times

Teenagers are rebellious and they may not always want to do what you tell them and they want to know how much they can challenge you. When teenagers argue with you and refuse to obey the rules, don't punish them and act like a tyrant, because this only makes them more stubborn.

Teens are confused and need guidance to stay on track. They need boundaries to help them stay in control. Be clear about the rules, whether it's how late they stay out on a school night or what they're supposed to do at home.

Make the consequences clear if they break the rules, no matter how minor the problem, so your T****** knows you're serious

The German Federal Nutrition Center stated that a healthy diet is the secret to hair health and beauty, as it helps hair grow and strengthens its structure, thus preventing breakage and loss.

The center explained that vitamin A, also known as "retinol," supports hair growth and gives it soft texture, noting that its food sources are apricots, peppers, dairy products, carrots and fish oil.

Vitamin B7, also known as 'biotin', is key to making hair look shiny and also protects hair from breakage. Its food sources are egg yolks, yeast, whole grains, milk, meat and dry fruits.

Vitamin C helps iron to reach the roots of the hair through the blood, which helps to strengthen the structure of the hair. Its food sources are citrus fruits, peppers and many types of cabbage.

And since the body needs protein to produce keratin, of which hair is made up of up to 90%, the body should be adequately supplied with protein, at a rate of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

Zinc is of great importance for the health of the scalp, and therefore the beauty of the hair, and its food sources are oat flakes and Brazil nuts
