how do manage a teenage daughter she is not respecting the elders her thinking is different from ours.?

Answer 1

Well, Talk to her in a friendly way let her understand you love and care for her. Ask her if she's got anything to tell you or she's having any problem she might be upset about it. Tell her you all love her and you all wanna see her as a great kid and you know she can do it. So, tell her you are there for her help and as a friend you're gonna always be with her and then tell her that to be a great kid lets just start off with respecting her elders. I guess this will work.

Answer 2

Don’t tell us, that you expect her to think the same way as you do? Come on, that’s more than ridiculous!
In the first place, if the young generation thinks the same way as the older one, there will be no progress in your country.
Many things have improved, because the younger generation gets more and better education, more information, more freedom and the right (which is an essential human right in each democracy!!!) to think and speak out whatever one thinks is the truth!!
What to you pretend to do? Control the thoughts of your daughter?
What do you mean by respecting the elders?
Well, I think it should be normal, that people respect each other mutually.
But I think, you are one of these people, who talk about respect and what they really want is complete submission... and that’s something totally different.
You can respect another person, although you don’t share his point of view. But you say: Hey, I am your mother, we are the elder generation and you have to think what I want you to think and you have to behave as I did when I was young and you have to live your life exactly as I did... that’s modern slavery.
Your daughter has the right to be young and think whatever she wants, because thanks to young people who are thinking a little more than your generation did, our country will go ahead and there is a progress...

Answer 3

First of all, trying to use the whole "she needs to respect her elders" argument is stupid in my opinion. Yes she may be your child but respect goes both ways-- you need to show it in order to earn it.

You mention she is a teenager-- it is part of normal teenage growth and health that she will contradict what you say and be at odds with your own thinking. It's about becoming an adult. What you should be doing is trying to have an open road of communication with her instead of thinking that you will be able to get her respect. With that attitude, I can assure you that will not happen.

She is not a store you have to "manage" either, nor is she an unkept wild dog. She is your daughter, who you should be trying to understand anyway. It's called communication, teaching good conflict resolution skills, and showing natural consequences for your behavior. THAT is how you will earn her respect...regardless of how different her thinking is.

Answer 4

First of all it is on account of the generation gap.
Secondly in modern days Indian teen agers are following the foot steps of their counter parts in the west.
The TV channels are also responsible to a large extent.

Now to think of the remedies.

Only Love and Understanding will help to mend the child.
The teen ager should be made to realise that all your suggestions are in reality meant for his/her good of the future only.
It is also necessary for the parents to be patient while dealing with them.

Please bear in mind that an average teen ager today is highly intelegent when compared with the previous generation.
This makes it all the most essential to deal with them with Compassion and Restraint.
Never loose your temper in dealing with them.
Such things will only agravate further the already strained relations.

It is an established fact that children who have problems in their relations with others, especially with the elders at home, do not fare well in their academical career.
Therefore it is imperative that they correct this malady at once.

I suggest that you send your child for a short duration course either in
The Art of Living classes run by Sri Sri Ravishankarji or in
The Oneness University Youth Course run by Amma Bhagawan.
The Art of Living courses are being conducted in all the cities of India and abroad.
The Oneness University conducts its courses in a village near Chitoor of Andhra Pradesh, India.

I am given to understand that both the courses are very good in making the children understand their prime responsibilities in their lives without any kind of force.

These have become very popular and attracts teen agers from all over the world.
I myself have seen two teen agers completely transforming thmselves into excellence, after going through these courses.
Best Wishes.

Answer 5

Well itz mainly due to generation gap.
secondly, u cant force ur decisions on her.
try n understand her point of view,ask her y she feels so n explian her politely if shez thinkin wrongly . itz not necessary that she'll think in the same way as u do.try to be a friend of hers rather than being a parent coz now shez a teenager n at this time u shud start listening to her opinions n respecting them not necessarily agreeing upon them coz if u dont in future she may not even tell u wat she feels.
nw itz time wen u shud treat her as a friend.
Dont worry everything will be alright.
"ALL THE BEST"

Answer 6

Hi susila sister, don't worry. This is part of the hormone changes that happens in teenagers. Better not try to correct her in a coercive way. That will trigger more arrogance in her. Deal with her in a lenient way only. Gradually you will be able to see changes in her. Actually they need moral support to overcome this stage. Be like her friend that a Mom. Everything will be alright.

Answer 7

THE TEENAGE YEARS, the years where most kids act rebelious and believe in zero authority. U have to put your foot down and enforce the rules that u have set upon them..... i know its hard, but dont be a floor mat, teens need structure and discipline, talk to them and give the advice, be a mentor
