Talk openly, set boundaries, seek help, provide support, monitor, lead by example, encourage alternatives, stay patient.

So the child needs unconditional love, acceptance and no judgement at this crucial time. Form a bond with your child first, and establish communication. After that talk to the child, about the reasons behind this action, and very slowly try and put in boundaries. All this takes time and immense patience from the parents, it is hard work, but it is worth it. And yes, you cannot control a teenager with power, that will only result in more rebellion. Love is the only answer.

Hi, I am Pragya Arora, a clinical psychologist. It’s quite challenging to deal with teenagers who have indulged in substance abuse but there are many effective ways to do it. I don’t know your case personally so I will suggest some generic ways- firstly approach them with empathy and understanding, don’t judge them. Open communication is the key- listen to their concerns and experience without interrupting or criticising. Offer them support and guidance. To get a more hands on, personalised approach tailored to your situation and needs of the child, connect with me on my lives or ask me questions by tagging me here or in my community @Let's talk Mental health

Popular opinionOur childhood plays a major role on how we will be as a child. There are many different kinds of parenting and we will try to discuss bit-by-bit everyday. हम एक बच्चे के रूप में कैसे होंगे, इसमें हमारा बचपन एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है। पालन-पोषण कई प्रकार के होते हैं और हम प्रतिदिन थोड़ा-थोड़ा करके चर्चा करने का प्रयास करेंगे। Authoritarian Parenting अथोरिटीयन पेरैंटींग 1. Does any of these statements sound like your childhood? क्या इनमें से कोई भी कथन आपके बचपन जैसा लगता है? 2. Your parents believed kids should be seen and not heard. आपके माता-पिता का मानना था कि बच्चों को देखा जाना चाहिए, सुना नहीं जाना चाहिए। 3. When it comes to rules, they believed it's "my way or the highway." जब नियमों की बात आती है, तो उनका मानना था कि यह "मेरा रास्ता या राजमार्ग" है। 4. They didn't take your feelings into consideration when you were a child जब आप बच्चे थे तो उन्होंने आपकी भावनाओं पर ध्यान नहीं दिया 5. Your parents have often uttered the words "because I said so" when you as a child asked questions and they never explained reasons behind the rules. जब आप एक बच्चे के रूप में प्रश्न पूछते थे तो आपके माता-पिता अक्सर "क्योंकि मैंने ऐसा कहा था" शब्द कहते थे और उन्होंने कभी भी नियमों के पीछे के कारण नहीं बताए। Is this the parenting style you had as a childhood. Comment so that we can discuss more क्या आपके बचपन में पालन-पोषण की यही शैली थी? टिप्पणी करें ताकि हम और अधिक च#parenting्चा कर#childhoodस#childhoodmemoriesें #parentingstyle # # # #adulthood #life

Nutrition is a corner stone for the child's physical, mental and emotional growth & development. It is crucial for the proper development of the different cognitive functions of the brain and the child's intelligence & IQ. To build a healthy long productive life, you must start early even before the child is born as the first 1000 days are crucial. It is important that the child eats all the needed food groups on a daily basis together with limiting and avoiding all those junk fast food that are eaten frequently nowadays. Understanding all different aspects of healthy eating will help parents and child caregivers make better choices for their children. When children have healthy relations with food, they can easily reduce their prevalence of many behavioral disorders and chronic diseases. التغذية هي حجر الزاوية لنمو الطفل وتطوره الجسدي والعقلي والعاطفي. وهى أمر بالغ الأهمية للتطور السليم للوظائف المعرفية المختلفة للدماغ وذكاء الطفل ومعدل الذكاء. لبناء حياة صحية طويلة ومنتجة، يجب أن تبدأ مبكراً حتى قبل ولادة الطفل لأن أول 1000 يوم تعتبر حاسمة. من المهم أن يتناول الطفل كافة المجموعات الغذائية التي يحتاجها بشكل يومي مع الحد من الوجبات السريعة التي يتم تناولها بشكل متكرر في هذه الأيام وتجنبها. إن فهم جميع الجوانب المختلفة للأكل الصحي سيساعد الآباء ومقدمي رعاية الأطفال على اتخاذ خيارات أفضل لأطفالهم. عندما يتمتع الأطفال بعلاقات صحية مع الطعام، يمكنهم بسهولة تقليل انتشار العديد من الاضطرابات السلوكية والأمراض المزمنة لديهم.more
