Teen TROUBLES
By TERRY BURTON
A recent Family Counselor at the Burton family was a woman who is recognized as one of the top authorities in the country on the problems parents face with teen-agers and vice versa. She's Mrs. Alice Thompson, publisher and editor-in-chief of Seventeen magazine.
I'd been having trouble with my stepson Brad, so I asked Alice to -give me some advice. "The thing that causes most upsets between parents and children," she said, "is that young people feel they can't take their problems to their elders.
"The reason I know this," Alice went on to say, "is that each month at Seventeen we receive over two thousand 'problem' letters, many of them prefaced with, 'I'm asking you because I can't ask my parents.' "
After hearing this, I was curious to know the cause of such a lack of understanding between parents and their offspring.
Alice said that she feels that it's brought about because Mother and Dad often refuse to believe that "Johnnie" and "Suzy" are growing up.
Says Alice, "If your youngster claims privileges because 'everyone else in the neighborhood can do it,' then you should get together with other parents and agree on standards. It's silly to refuse the child with a flat 'no,' for very often a worthwhile compromise can be worked out. In the case of a girl, if all the other girls in her neighborhood wear lipstick at the age of sixteen, then don't refuse her that innocent privilege for it'll create hard feelings."
Before Alice left she gave me some advice that 1 know all of you will want to take to heart — just as I did. It was this: "If you want to be close to your children and have them come to you with any and all problems, then you have to develop a real friendship with them. Spend as much time with them as you can. Do things with them — simple things that require more thought than money. You can let them stand on their own feet, but the important thing to remember is that you've got to be there in case they teeter."
