    Growing Family: How to Accommodate and Anticipate Teen Growth Spurts

    By Friends of Real MommaSeptember 27, 2020No Comments3 Mins Read

    Teens go through a lot of changes before they officially enter adulthood. Growth spurts are one of the many changes that teens will have to deal with. It can be difficult for both teens and parents to deal with a growth spurt. The good news is that there are several ways that you can accommodate this.

    Make Sure That Your Teen Eats Well

    Your teen will need more calories and nutrients because they are growing. That is why it is important for you to keep the fridge stocked with healthy food. Granola bars, fresh fruits, vegetables, trail mix and Greek yogurt are some of the best foods for your teen to eat.

    Limit Screen Time

    Many teens are tempted to stay in front of electronics all day. However, it is important for growing teens to stay active. That is why it is a good idea for you to limit your teen’s screen time. Encourage them to get out outside and stay active. A physically active lifestyle will help your teen stay healthy.

    Get New Mattresses

    A good night’s rest is one of the keys to staying healthy. You can ensure that your teen gets the proper amount of rest by buying comfortable mattresses. A mattress will typically last between 7 and 10 years. However, mattresses may not last as quickly if you have a growing teen. The size and firmness of your mattress are some of the things that you will need to consider when buying a mattress. You will also need to consider your budget.

    Buy Clothing in Bulk

    Your teen will grow rapidly. That is why you may find yourself constantly buying clothes. One of the ways that you can save money is by buying in bulk. Make sure that you buy different clothing sizes. You may also want to buy secondhand clothing. There is secondhand clothing that is just as nice as regular clothing. Additionally, you should shop online. It is often cheaper for you to shop online. You will also be able to save a lot of time.

    Teen growth supports are often hard to cope with. However, you can make it easier by buying healthy food. You will also need to limit screen time and encourage your teen to go outside. Additionally, you will need to buy clothing in bulk and make sure that your teen has a good mattress to sleep on.
