What does POT mean in NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

When parenting teens, POT should consider various factors such as providing emotional support, being understanding and firm in enforcing rules, monitoring activities and relationship, teaching responsibility and helping to build positive self-esteem.

Some strategies that POT can consider while parenting include modeling positive behaviors, encouraging communication between parent and teen, monitoring media consumption, giving clear consequences for negative behavior, using rewards for positive behavior and building trust in the parent-child relationship.

It is important for POT to approach conflicts with their teen in a calm manner by acknowledging emotions and listening actively to what the teen has to say before responding. This can help ensure that the conversation does not become heated or unproductive. Additionally, it may also be helpful for both parties to brainstorm solutions together until an agreeable solution is found.

Good communication is key in any parent-teen relationship. While it's important for parents to be aware of where their teen is at all times and who they are with, having an excessive amount of surveillance can impinge upon the trust between both parties. Therefore, it may be beneficial if parents could discuss guidelines around technology with teens so that they are aware of how much surveillance is necessary or appropriate depending on the situation.

If you notice any changes in your child's behavior such as extreme mood swings or hostile interactions with family members or signs of depression or anxiety then it may be worthwhile seeking out professional help so your child receives appropriate treatment.
