15.03.2024 18:25
It is still unknown who has a harder time surviving adolescence – the child himself or his parents.
The teenager tries in every way to prove himself as an individual, and the parents try to control his actions, fearing that something might happen.
Experts have their own point of view on this matter.
Controlling a teenager
Adolescence is often called a crisis age, equally for the child himself and for the rest of the family members.
It’s no wonder, because a growing child strives to break away from parental care, to escape from control, to prove his independence.
What should parents do?
During this period, it will be better for everyone if, instead of total control, parents begin to support or guide yesterday’s child.
The educational process must reach a new level. There can no longer be any talk of parental authoritarianism - only trust.
The main task is to overcome adolescence as painlessly as possible for everyone.
How to achieve this
Help your teenager feel like an individual, teach him to set goals and achieve them.
At the same time, experts warn that an overly soft approach will not lead to anything good. A teenager should know and remember the existence of boundaries, and parents should be present in the life of a growing child so that he or she does not feel lonely.
