During a time of adolescence, it’s very helpful for a parent to influence various aspects of their child’s life, meaning not creating too much of an emphasis just on academia or just on artistry. The idea is to create the complete person, which means a trifecta of the mental aspect, the emotional aspect and the physical aspect. This means encouraging your child to be athletic, just as it does encouraging your child to be academic, just as it does encouraging your child to be creative. By influencing your child on all three levels, it allows a teenager to feel that they are developing equally as a balanced individual, which is very important for their young adult health.
