Every teenager goes through the hardship of a Roblox ban. Nobody plans for it. Nobody thinks it will happen to them. But you get a little heated in the chat and BAM you’re out.
Here is how to help your teenager through this truly difficult time.
If it’s a 24 hour ban, your teenager will suffer withdrawals. Try to have their favorite drink on hand. It might be Gatorade, a Starbucks Dragonfruit Refresher, a Boba, or Sprite. You should really know your own child by now. Also, food would be so nice. Any snack, really. Snacks not ingredients. Raisins aren’t a snack, they are a reminder that you are extremely passive aggressive.
Hugs and kisses. Not from you. From your checking account. Help your teenager feel better with money. It doesn’t have to be a lot. Maybe $40 to browse the mall for awhile? $40 is an excellent deposit for a nice hoodie. You can pay the balance when you come into the store. You are beautiful.
Attention. If your teenager is a middle child, try talking to them about something other than their older or younger siblings. What if you had a conversation with your middle child teenager about something other than what they should change in life? A talk with a 30-minute lecture or advice would be amazing.
Understanding. During the Roblox ban, your teenager’s behavior might be unpredictable. Not being able to play Grow a Garden, Adopt Me, etc. is distressing. Please don’t get your teenager in trouble over a slammed door or maybe some light sassy behavior. We are always mad and it’s hard to be nice when things keep going wrong.
Robux. If your teenager got in really big trouble and ended up with a permanent ban, the only way you can truly help is Robux. Please don’t be cheap. Pretend it’s for your firstborn.
With some sensitivity and kindness you can help your teenager navigate this painful time with ease and come out a stronger person.
Apply yourself!
