Tween Communication: The Teen Door Hanger
Becoming a teen isn’t just confusing to adults, it’s confusing to tweens too. Their outbursts catch them off guard in the same way they catch you off guard. The difference is they are too embarrassed to come back to you and say, “I’m so sorry. I don’t know what came over me.”
The Teen Door Hanger helps tween and teen communication.
The crazy thing is that they really don’t know what came over them, but science does. The brain development is amazing and takes your teen by storm. The y are getting used to the way things work and trying to learn how to control these new powers they have. One way to help them is to make the lines of communication not just open, but clear. Crystal.
The Teen Door Hanger is a clear way your teen can communicate their mood or state of mind. The Teen Door Hanger allows your teen to clearly indicate that they are in a good mood and don’t mind you entering the room. There is another place for your teen to indicate they are in a bad mood in which case, you might want to ask them about the chore later.
This type of communication decreases the risk of miscommunications where parents personalize their teen’s behavior when your teen really just had a rough day. Teens take a lot of time processing their day and thinking about their interactions with friends. If they think they did a particularly bad job of it they may be hard on themselves. If you enter the room at this point, they may snap or yell at you. Placing The Teen Door Hanger with the indication that one should be cautious entering allows your teen to process and then interact with you when they are ready.
