Hello all

Most of you have read my blogs. Also most of you seem young (if not teenagers). I would like to introduce myself and my work because the idea of my venture is something very new and unknown to many.

WHY I STARTED WRITING?

Everything I write, I hardly google anything. I write it all by experience which my children have provided to me. As its said “ Life is a better teacher”. What you don't learn in school is taught by life. I have not studied psychology but i have attended various workshops which help in understanding people and emotions.

I saw how teenagers today are drifting away from parents and family. They are more involved in their own world of friends. They hardly discuss any queries with parents due to various fear or hesitation and rely on online sources for answers. These online sources provide a range of solutions which may not always be applicable in your situation. I saw teens getting mislead and found it very upsetting as they are the future of the country. 

Especially with the pandemic and lock down situation, the relationships were further affected as we all were trapped at homes with no social life. Shutting of schools and colleges led to sadness and frustration in them. The family had to bear with mood swings and adapting to changing lifestyle was getting difficult. 

One day I wrote a small article and shared with teens whom I knew. They liked reading it and encouraged me to share my thoughts with larger audience through various social media platform. I posted my first blog in November 2020. The support and appreciation encouraged me to grow further and create my own website : www.theteenagertalks.co.in

This website provided me with some lessons and learning ( which I will share soon). The idea of the website is to provide a platform for the teenagers to find solutions to their queries easily- given from the point of view of a mother who understands teenage and teenagers very well. A teenage guide and expert, providing my thoughts through my blog, I connect with teens that they not always want solutions but someone who can hear them out without any judgement. Every person wants to vent out their emotions in safe environment that I aim to grant. The mental health of individuals, and especially teenagers is very important. Piling of emotions affects humans and leads to anxiety. 

There are so many emotions and feelings which are new during teenage, which is difficult to comprehend. A helping hand will provide the right direction.

To clarify, I am not a parenting coach or counselor. I focus on teenagers and helping them out. I don't give parenting session, I give teenager-ing session if needed to parents and make them understand the point of view of teens and bridge the gap. But more important is that teens are able to change their thinking and mindset which will provide benefit in future - that is my focus. 

Anyone who wants any sort of guidance or just someone to hear you out, consider me always available for you. I assure of confidentiality.
