Letter to a frustrated parent Flashcards
Giving advice to a parent with an out of control teen
Dear Charlotte
Kære Charlotte
Thanks for your letter.
Tak for dit brev.
To have a teenage can be hard.
At have en teenager kan være svært.
I know this because my own son also had the same problems when he was that age.
Jeg ved det fordi min egen søn også havde de samme problemer da han var i den alder.
It’s actually a big problem with many teenagers.
Faktisk er det et stort problem med mange teenagere.
I think it’s important to be agreement with the rules and follow them, otherwise there will be consequences.
Jeg tror at det er vigtigt at være enige om reglerne samt følge dem, ellers må der være konsekvenser.
For example, if he did not complete his chores, you should take his privileges away, or you can withhold his pocket money if he does not do his homework.
For eksempel hvis han ikke fuldførte sine pligter, bør du tage hans privilegier væk, eller du kan tilbageholde hans lommepenge, hvis han ikke gør sit hjemmearbejde.
One more thing, if you are afraid he might be stealing money, don’t keep money in the house.
En ting mere, hvis du er bange for at han kunne finde på at stjæle penge, skal du ikke have penge i huset.
This is Denmark so you can just use your bank card everywhere.
Dette er Danmark så du kan bare bruge dit bankkort overalt.
Sincerely
Med venlig hilsen
