51. Helping Others:
It is good to encourage your teenager
to be helpful towards others. Giving to others and helping members of
the community really helps make the world a better place. If you
model being kind to others this is likely to rub off on your
teenager. Even encouraging your teenager to be friendly and polite
can make all the difference. They could donate unwanted toys to
charities that give toys to children in need, for example. When
teenagers experience the joy of giving they are likely to want to
repeat this. Any effort to be kind and helpful to others is to be
encouraged.
Sometimes just listening to a lonely
person can be enough to help them. Being there for people and letting
them know you care can help them to cope with difficulties in their
lives.
Voluntary work can be very rewarding
but more importantly the way you treat people on a daily basis has
the most impact.
Teach your teenager that they should
treat others in the way that they would wish to be treated. Do this
yourself. If you wish your teen communicated better with you then try
and improve the way you communicate with them. If you do this they
are likely to respond positively to your new approach.
It is never too late to change. If you
teach your teenager that being kind and helpful to others makes life
happier for all they will discover that you are right if they decide
to try it.
