Adolescent Development | Handling the Chaos in Your Adolescent | Part I

http://donovanbigelow.com The first lecture in a series on Adolescent Development, I will talk about how the chaos in your own life relates to the chaos in your child's life. I will be covering what adolescent development is about exactly and what it feels like to be an adolescent up and down, left and right. Every parent today witnesses the chaos in their children’s lives. Wait a minute, that is exactly what it feels like to be the parent of an adolescent. Chaotic. There is something about this material that seems unique and my sense is that it is going to provoke a great deal of very primitive emotions fear and anxiety and anger and frustration hopes and desires and dreams and all of that all mixed up. My hope is that this material will manage to give some sense to what seems like chaos and I am hoping that adolescents that listen to this will be able to turn a little of the chaos within them into understanding. My hope is that parents who see chaos in their children will recognize that there is chaos in themselves as well, and they are seeing as much as of their own chaos as they are that of their children. Children and teenagers tend to parrot their parents behaviors and anxieties and issues that their parents still exhibit and that stemmed from their parents’ own adolescent development. So mainly this lecture series is an impassioned plea for parents to reevaluate their own issues and their understandings and approaches to their own teenagers and their parenting styles. Half of my patients are between 11 and 22 years old easily and without exception the teenagers I see in my office are in my office because their parents are reenacting their own childhood conflicts and experiences. Parents are really inflicting their own derailed development onto their children. It is not working and what is terribly painful and ironic in almost all of the adults that I see in my patients range in age from mid-20s to mid-60s and what I see consistently is the same thing over and over. And that is my adult patients are still struggling with adolescent issues within themselves. There is responsibility on the part of the parents to parent their children in accordance with the needs of their child and that their child grow up to be healthy and strong individuals. It is also the parents’ responsibility to have the courage and the strength to look inside themselves to make sure they can do that by making the repair by making the changes in themselves that will allow them to do that. I hope you find the rest of this lecture informative and perhaps even life changing for both yourself and your children.
