3 Reasons why Teenage Retreats are Popular with Parents

As kids grow, the family home can feel more and more crowded.

Parents are solving this problem with a teenage retreat in the backyard. 

Designed to give teens the space they need, whilst keeping them nearby, teen retreats are a win-win for parents & teens.

 

Here are 3 reasons why teenage retreats work so well:

 

1. They create a noise buffer

As teens get older, they tend to get noisier.

Parties, get-togethers and even recreation usually involve a large amount of noise and mess. 

With the teenage retreat located in the backyard, teens can enjoy their favourite movies or shows or games as loud as they like, without disturbing the rest of the house.

2. Dedicated study & homework space

Perhaps one of the most stressful periods in a young adults life, the HSC (final school exams in NSW) represents a very condensed period of cramming, note-taking and worrying, as teens prepare to endure multiple 2-3hr exams which will determine their ATAR and, ultimately, their career. 

If your child is blessed with siblings, they will probably be longing for their own quiet space where they can escape to focus on their work. 

No matter how ‘anti-study’ teens may appear to be, the relief that comes from concentrating on soaking up as much of those study notes as possible is undeniable.

3. Increased Sense of Trust & Responsibility 

Giving a teen their own retreat indicates that you trust them enough to have their own space and take care of it too.

By giving your teen this trust, and making them responsible for maintaining the space, you are telling them that you trust them. From that trust stems independance and maturity; key factors that will set them up for adulthood.
