Teens today are tech savvy and they love the idea of being active digitally. Be it their social media feed, response to a chat message or the reception of an online invitation; teens try to stay updated with everything happening in their digital sphere and for that, they stay glued to their digital devices so they don’t miss on anything. They check their devices every now and then which usually results in the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in them.
It is deeply worrying that more and more teens are given psychiatric diagnoses and that the number of young people receiving treatment for OCD is large and still growing. Teens are increasingly 'on' in their lives, especially in the social media. They must live up to the expectation of being successful and special. But it does mean that more and more young people succumb to the pressure and the number of losers is multiplied. So now, to deal with the situation, here are the three things that you require:
1. Patience
The first thing that you would need to deal with your tech-savvy teen is a bit of silence and patience. You are not a teenager hence you shouldn’t behave like one. Have some patience if you see your teen glued to their digital devices. Observe them closely and if you find them checking their devices again and again, keep calm and plan a counseling session with them.
2. The art of Negotiation
3. Digital Solution
