Parents whose children are between 13 and 18 are often at their wits end. The adolescent years are predictably turbulent for both teens and parents. Mom and Dad often wonder what happened to the nice boy who loved to play quietly and to that sweet girl who chattered non-stop about school and friends as she helped get dinner on the table. Suddenly, it seems, its either silence or belligerence. Whats a parent to do When dealing with teens, its important to keep your cool and to work hard at staying in touch with these rapidly changing creatures. Among other things, staying in touch includes having fun together and being a good listener. Parents also need to learn how to evaluate different kinds of problem behavior andwhen necessarydevelop strategies for dealing with it. The trick is to remain calm while trying to tell the difference between dangerous conduct and normal strides toward independence. When behavior becomes dangerous, especially if it involves the Big Threedriving, drug/alcohol use, and sexparents have to be able to draw the line. Recent research indicates that open and friendly communication between parents and teenagers lowers the likelihood that the teens will get hurt by risk-taking behavior, though such positive communication does not guarantee that kids will avoid all behavior their parents might not like. Independence is essential if teens are to mature naturally and take their place in the adult world. To first-time parents of adolescents, though, independence sometimes looks like rebellion. Here Are Some Ground Rules for One-On-One TimeHow can parents stay in touch with their teens when it seems the kids are out with friends all the time Or, when the kids are home, theyre in their room, on the phone or on the computer. One-on-one funnot family funis a good start. Your teens may not want to eat dinner with the family, and family outings may not be on their agenda. But dinner and a movie, a shopping excursion, or driving around in the carjust the two of youmay help a lot. Let your spouse stay home with the other kids. Take turns getting to know the person your child is becoming. Here are several ground rules for one-on-one time with your teen: No problem discussions about hair, grades, friends, texting etc. Make an appointment well in advance, choosing a time that is mutually convenient. Honor your commitment; no last minute excuses about being tired or needing to stay late at work. Put on your active-listening shoes. Let your teen talk without judging, correcting or interrupting. Talk about yourself! Without necessarily trying to teach a lesson, let your youngster know what you went through when you were their age. One-on-one time can go a long way toward relaxing the day-to-day tensions that are bound to arise. If you dont learn how to talk to your teens about little things, communication about the serious issues will be doubly difficult. A little patience and some willingness to loosen the reinswhen appropriatecan pay big dividends for you and your teenager in the future.- The Moms BuzzSource: ParentMagic Inc www.parentmagic.com Easy to-Learn Parenting Solutionsthat WORK from Dr. Thomas Phelan

Washington, August 05 ANI: Angelina Jolie's son Pax apparently got a manicure kit for himself while shopping in California with his mum. Jolie and three of her kids - Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, and Shiloh, 4 - were spotted at Rockridge Kids toy store in Berkeley, California. According to an eyewitness, the gang of four's excursion began at Oakland Stadium, where they watched Brad Pitt shoot his baseball flick Moneyball for three hours, reports UsMagazine.com. After arriving at Rockridge Kids escorted by police cars, the kids "were darting back and forth checking out all kinds of stuff," the witness says. "Pax found a 'Magnificent Manicure Kit' that he brought over to show Zahara. It looked like they both wanted it and they showed it to Angelina," the observer explains of the kit, which lets kids make their lotion and give their hands a "mud bath." After Pax and Zahara pleaded, their 35-year-old mom "agreed they could get it." Shiloh, meanwhile, munched on a fruit snack and followed her elder siblings around the store, the witness says. After about ten minutes, the famous bunch "left with a bag of toys" and returned to their hotel. Not on hand for the shopping trip: big brother Maddox, 8, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 2. ANI
