Studies show that independence is necessary for a child's journey to becoming a capable adult. Independence allows them to take on more responsibility, to form their identity, and to work out their values. It's common for parents and teenagers to be at odds with each other over independence, which can often lead to risk-taking behaviour by the child.
Your teenage child will be working hard to strike a balance between the expectations of parents with other social expectations they may be experiencing. It is important to strike your own balance and create an environment that offers your child an appropriate level of independence. Portable cabins are a way to provide this while keeping them close enough for comfort.
There are various options available when it comes to transportable cabins. Some of them can be modified so that they are self-contained, encouraging their teen inhabitants to maintain a space on their own. This also means that they directly confront the messy consequences of not doing so!
A portable cabin also gives your teen a space to entertain their friends in a private place (where they don't have to be worried about being embarrassed by other family members).
Responsibility works in a give and take fashion, meaning you don't have to worry about them messing up the home and cleaning up after them. The privilege of getting their own private space means that they also have to look after their portable cabin.
With the teen out in the relocatable cabin, you can enjoy a little more peace in your home. Enjoy some leisure time without the sound of questionable music, or video game violence emanating from the TV screen.
You both get privacy and space out of the situation - studies show that a healthy amount of separation often leads to an improved relationship with better quality communication when you are together.
