Birthday celebration for a teenager is a joint venture. Your
little one who was depending on you for all the things till a couple of years
ago, suddenly starts trying to take control of all the things. Teenagers are as
usually referred to as young adults and they perfectly fit this description.
They form their opinions just like adults, but they need your help to make them
work.
So, if you are thinking about managing the birthday party
for your teenage girl, here are few things that you need to take care of:
Giving due consideration to her plans
You may have some ideas about her birthday, but try to know
about her plans. Does she have any ideas about the celebration? It may be a
party at home or a celebration outside the house. Do not oppose outright even
if you do not agree with the idea. Discuss the ideas with her, plan out the
celebrations and take her suggestions. She might have better plans. If you
think her plans are not acceptable, try to convince her gradually about it.
Sudden or outright opposition may cause a rebel.
Going ahead with the plans
Once you decide on the celebration, there could be
differences in opinions about the other plans too. Especially if your teenager is stubborn, you
may have a tough time. What seems trendy for her may turn out to be expensive
or absurd for you. Do not lose your cool and work out options.
Assigning responsibilities
Give her due credit and respect for important tasks
associated with her celebration. Let her take the call regarding the menu, the
type of decorations and such other tasks. If she is a mature lady, let her go
ahead and organize the party. You can be there as her guide or mentor. Girls
are very sensitive and emotional about every little thing around them. It could
be her friends, the birthday theme, flowers, or may be the cake too.
Avoiding family interventions in the party
All the family members may not understand your teenager.
Teenagers prefer to keep their parties a private affair. So if you think dad is
interfering by nature or her sibling is going to poke his or her nose into her
party, make plans to keep them away. You might as well plan some outdoor task
for them. If her folks are friendly with you and can connect with you easily, they’ll
invite you occasionally to join them. But don’t be inquisitive about their
intimate discussions.
Respecting her privacy
The D day for your teenager might start with text messages
or lot of phone calls. Do not be over inquisitive about this. You can discuss
about her friends later, not that day. Same rule applies for gifts as well. At
this age they have special friends, boys and girls. And for a teenage girl, the
gifts given by these special friends are always very special. She might not
want to reveal everything to you. Give her the space she needs and she will
come up with her secrets with you or with dad.
Thus, realize that your girl is growing up and you need to
make a note of her opinions and emotions when planning her celebrations.
