Privacy among teenagers is part & parcel of important area of parenting. As young adults when parents are busy exploring the world, child may feel who doesn’t want privacy ? Even they argue for freedom. The solution for this problems starts with asking your child to consider you as their friend so they can share everything. You also will have to promise not to over react to certain issues. Once they do share things you can chill out & only advise them when necessary unlike everything your motherly instincts urges you to. Nurturing the child with love & Meditation from the childhood is the best remedy as far as parenting is concerned. God has given you a child to take care off. Remember you are trustee of your child. Don’t use your position as a authority. Moment a child finds that his freedom is being snatched away, he will start rebellion. Then he will make wrong friends, resort to all types of gimmicks, non obeyance to any advise etc. A feeling of friendship with your child will enhance confidence in your child. Sharing the ups & down of the career, career goals, adolescent issue then become easy & this will not put stress in the child.
