Driving Teens

When our children getting close to their 16th birthday, they cannot stop talking about having a car.

They search online and pick model, and color of their future car. They are so excited about that they come up with plans that are not always bringing a positive ending in their story. Teens have poor understanding of responsibilities, and unfortunately don't take parent's suggestions seriously. Driving could be not only needed for everyday life, it also can be a danger for the teenagers and for the other drivers. Teens use to say, "It won't happen to me" and don't adopt the fact that it could happen if they don't take a full responsibility of their life and others.

6 Things Teens Need to Know Before Leaving Home

Secrets for making a smooth transition from adolescence to adulthood.

As a young person with ADD, you have some additional responsibilities and concerns to shoulder. Here are six points to consider as you enter the next phase of your life.
1. Take responsibility for managing ADD in your life. As life becomes more complicated and responsibilities increase (college, relationships, work), the need to manage ADD effectively (including your treatment) becomes more important, not less.
2. Don't feel that you must go to college—at least not right away. If your enthusiasm about this next stage is only lukewarm, consider deferring your enrollment, or taking classes at a community college.
3. Develop life skills before you leave home. As you acquire survival skills, you won't need to depend on your parents as much, and they will certainly send you in the right direction.
4. Follow your heart to the right job or career. The right career is the one that you are passionate about. If you need help identifying your areas of interest, vocational testing and career counseling can be very helpful.
5. Take care of your brain by taking care of your body. A healthy lifestyle (exercise, sleep, and proper nutrition) makes a significant difference in attention, concentration, memory, irritability, and mood control — all of which are directly affected by ADD.
6. On the river of life, be a boat—not a log. Having a vision for the future and an understanding that your life's course is the result of your own actions is critical. As a log, all you can do is float where the current takes you. As a boat, you can drift if you want to, but you have the ability to direct your course when you know where you want to go.

College planning

Probably another important step in our teen-life is planning for higher education. This task is not easy for both sides- parents and teens. Select the right program, college, and location of the college is hard. We think about the best future for our children, but our children think differently. It is not a secret that parents pay for their children's' education and select a college that we can afford, closer to home and very often dictate what program our children should take. Teens think differently; they want to get out of the house with friends as far as possible, so parents can't control them. To avoid this situation, sit down and talk, get advice from education counselor, search online for more specific information, do it together. College Planning for Teens has a lot of helpful information. Build closer relationships with your child, be their friend and parent.
