Stress Tip..by
G. Gaynor McTigue..THU.8/04/05 Cut your teens some slack. When
kids grow into teenagers, they begin to look every bit like adults. So we expect
them to act like adults. And when they don't, which is often, it stresses the
heck out of us. Ease up a little. Although they're sprouting up and filling out,
and their voices are changing, they're still basically children! Else they'd be
out living and working on their own, wouldn't they? Accept that your job isn't
done yet, by any stretch, and there are many more years of patience and understanding
to go through. Yes, give them more responsibility, let them enjoy a taste of adulthood,
but expect that they'll make mistakes, express the most infuriating viewpoints,
and do the most nonsensical things. They're works in progress. Think how confused
and chaotic your adolescence was. It will help you stave off, or at least endure,
the classic struggle between parent and teen. Why make yourself crazy? Based
on G. Gaynor McTigue's acclaimed book Why Make Yourself Crazy? featured
in major publications and on talk shows across America.
Previous Stress Tip Do more things live. Are you living life through a pixilated gauze? Are your conversations with others conducted mostly by keyboard? Does your travel consist of looking at photographs in a magazine? Are your adventures played out vicariously on a game console? Are you more familiar with TV characters than your own neighbors? As ingenious as technology may be, it can't replace flesh and blood, fresh air, natural sights, sounds, smells, and physical activity. And you need that. More than you think. Constantly living one step removed from reality, you can easily lose touch with it. And fall victim to the stress, anxiety and isolation of physical detachment. You've got to get out more. Be with real people, see real things, experience live events. There's no substitute. Why make yourself crazy?
