You should not be susceptible to feelings of being hated or abandoned or let outer feelings affect your decisions. Parents who do not give in to their kids’ manipulation are not those who are cold-hearted but simply responsible and sensible enough to consider what is right and good for their kids.
As a parent, it is difficult sometimes to say ‘no’ to your children, especially when they are in their teenage years. On the other hand, teenagers are smart and know how to get their work done. So, it is essential that you identify when your child is trying to manipulate you. Prevent yourself from those manipulative tricks to avoid bigger issues and complications.
You can always interact with your child and solve their problems, but, when it comes to manipulative teenagers, you have to be a little strict. However, make sure you are not too hard on them.
