As many of you know, I have three kids. I have two girls and one boy. My eldest, Micah Izabel, is already turning 12 years old this March. And with that, I am entering another milestone in parenting which is handling a teenager.
Since I am no expert in parenting, I have many apprehensions about myself. I fear that I will become an epic fail. Though there are a lot of books about how to handle a teenager but theory is relatively different from real life. There is no handbook on how to react on every parenting situation!
As of now, my eldest girl is starting to change. Aside from her physical changes, her interests have evolved from toys and games to kawaii drawings, digital micrometers, colored pens, diaries, polymer clays, origami and others! Yes, she is more on creative things nowadays. She prefers getting stuffs where she could creative cute things from rather than dolls. Well, I don’t complain much on her preferences. I believe what she wants is far more compelling than early usage of make-ups or chasing after boys. LOL!!!
This summer, I have promised her that I will enroll her in a summer class that involves polymer clay creations. She wants to learn how to make stuffs from it and I want to support her interests. So far, the only thing I know to do is support her.
Parenting is a hands-on experience. You learn as you go on and the unknown adds excitement to your journey. I’m sure you’ll be a good parent in raising your teenager. 🙂
Agree with you it is hands on experience
hi! you can actually order a polymer clay starter kit. you just need is an oven toaster and a thermometer so you can monitor the inside temperature. there are available information in the net about polymer clay making. im sure your daughter is creative and will make very good designs 🙂

Teenager today follow their peers so need beware they are good or bad ones
We try our hardest to raise teenagers with patience, honesty and good manners, but they still end up being like us . Most mothers say that 🙂
Teenagers can be difficult. I remember when I was a teenager and I went through this rebellious phase and sometimes fought with my mom.
Is good you have girl I don’t think I will have girl because I had ectopic pregnancy and removed right Fallopian tube.
