I have 2 children that are teenagers. My oldest is a 17 year old boy and my youngest is a 15 year old girl. They have different personalities and different interests so, I parent my teens differently in some ways, and that is OK! I’ve learned a lot along the way and am still learning how to parent them. I wouldn’t change any of it!
Here is an interesting post I found on positive traits of teenagers.

Teen Personalities
My oldest is my 17 year old boy. He is pretty much an Introvert, loves being to his self and doing his own thing. My son is a very picky eater, he does not try new foods and there are only a few foods that he likes. He doesn’t ask for a lot of things and does not like a lot of attention. Very laid back teenager, but he will voice his opinion more now and I love that! He basically likes what he likes as far as clothes, food, activities etc. Some of the time I have to make sure he stays on task for what he needs to be doing, and that’s ok. He gets really anxious in certain settings(I do as well lol) Overall, My boy is a really good kid. 18th Birthday is coming up so I’m trying to make that really special for him🥰.
My youngest is my 15 year old girl. She is an Introvert and extrovert lol. My girl is kind of quiet also, and she dances and performs in front of large crowds and talks around certain people. She is not a picky eater at all, she pretty much eat anything you feed her, with the exception of very few things. My daughter is a gift person, she likes to be rewarded(which she should), likes to buy things and my girl will start planning her birthday months ahead of time to make sure she gets the gifts she wants lol. She is very into her Dance and academics, so she does not have to be reminded what she needs to do. She just gets up and get ready! and get her stuff done. My daughter is a really good girl. Sweet 16 next year🥰

Parenting the teenagers
That’s the basics of my teens personalities. They both are overall good kids, no major teenage issues. You know there are the teenage hormones, sometimes as the parent we have those moments where we have to count to 10 because whew lol. My kids are not perfect but they are perfect for me! They have always gotten along pretty well and most importantly they have a good bro and sis relationship. God couldn’t have chosen better kids for me in my opinion and, I’m proud to be there mommy. Despite, the occasional teenage attitudes and rolling of the eyes lol. With my son I’m checking behind him more and more daughter is a little more independent, so that is why it is important to learn your kids different personalities and parent them accordingly. It makes their teenage years and your parenting much easier in my opinion. Parenthood is the best🤎🤎🤎 enjoying being mommy of teens.
Hope this helps someone! I have a post about questions to ask your teen. take a look!
Blessings,
