Helping Your Teen Get over a Bad Breakup

You don’t want your kids to suffer. And breaking up, as the old song goes, really is hard to do. No matter
what age you are, it’s never fun, but it may be even more difficult for teenagers, who have heightened
emotions at even the best of times. So even though as parents you know that your children are going to
have go through this painful process – and even though you know you don’t have to like it, necessary as it
is – you still want to be able to help your teen through the less than enjoyable experience of having their
heart broken. Here are a few tips on how to do it:

Listen up. The first thing you should do is to listen without judging. When your teen comes to you, focus
all your attention on them. You want them to keep talking, so ask questions that will allow your teen to
supply the details so that a) you can begin to see the big picture, and, more importantly, b) they can begin
to get it out of their system. Be as supportive as you can with your body and your words: remain open
physically (you should especially never cross your arms over your chest, as this closes you off and makes
you look stand-offish or judgmental) and tell your child that you love them and will be there for them no
matter what.

Be understanding. Though you’ve probably gone through this – or something like this – before,
remember that your teenager probably hasn’t, or hasn’t [Read more…]

Wordless Wednesday! Disney Days

@NuclearCowboyz in the NY/NJ area soon!

Looking for a fun night out with the guys? Or perhaps you want something to do with your teenagers (whom nothing excites anymore). Consider Nuclear Cowboyz, a fun an energetic motercross show complete with fire, dancers, and yes- wild and crazy bike tricks.

On it’s way to the NY and NJ area starting March 2, it’s a show that will thrill even the most sullen of teenagers. Bonding time hard to come by- take it when you can get it 🙂
Dad may be looking for a night out with the guys- this is the show for him. What’s not to love? It’s dangerous, enticing, riveting, and well- there’s fire, pretty girls, and loud rock music. It’s just a guy’s paradise!

Become drawn in to a turn war between two rival bike tribes- the Metal Mulisha and the Soldiers of Havoc- who are returning to this event, staged in Los Angeles in 2150. If the never ending battle for supremacy is not enough action for you, then the entrance of the evil (though enticing) Tempest and her Cyborg Army will keep you on the edge of your seats. Who will reign and rule the city? The tribes fight to stay free, but are forced to make an unlikely alliance in order to attempt to defeat this siren. [Read more…]

How to Save Money on the Hottest Brand Name Clothes for Your Teens

Some parents live with a teenager who makes them feel like he or she is a stylist in the making. Sure, they
have a good sense of style, but they also have a big interest in designer clothing. There’s not anything
wrong with that so long as their new pair of True Religion jeans don’t come at the expense of everyone
in the house going without electricity the next month! If you can relate, there are ways that you can save
money on brand name clothes. These are just a few.

Go When There’s a Sale. Only.

When it comes to finding designer clothes for teenagers, department stories like Nordstrom, Dillard’s
and Macy’s are pretty much sure things. However, just because you know where to locate the clothes, that
doesn’t always mean that you can afford the price tag that’s on them. That’s why it’s a good idea to get on
their mailing list for sales. Most department stores hold them pretty frequently and being patient until
you get that 30-50% off notice is well worth the wait.

Shop Online

Websites like Overstock.com and even Ebay.com specialize in selling designer items at a discounted price.
Stores with websites Marshalls and TJ Maxx do as well. There are even websites like 15DollarStore.com (it
means just what it says) that has some unbelievable finds. The smart thing about online shopping is that
they tend to offer exclusive deals for people who are ordering over the Internet. Don’t forget to check out
