Adolescence is a very important period in the life of a minor.
And it’s good if the child is ready for the onset of adolescence.
It is advisable for parents to explain a few important things to their son or daughter in advance.
If a child does not learn these truths, then the transition from childhood to adulthood will be very difficult for him.
"It is impossible to please everyone"
Mom and dad should explain the following to the future teenager in advance: “It is impossible to be loved by absolutely everyone.”
The child must understand: there will certainly be people in his life who will not have any sympathy for him. Moreover, sometimes hatred can be groundless.
And the growing child should also realize the following: his potential love may turn out to be unrequited, which should not be perceived as a disaster.
"Beauty is a subjective concept"
Many teenagers take their appearance very seriously.
Some people start to feel self-conscious about their large nose or other facial features.
It is necessary to explain to the child right away: there are no "generally accepted ideals of beauty". Some people will consider him attractive, others will not.
"There is no absolute justice in life"
The future teenager must understand that life is not always fair.
And often you will have to put up with some unpleasant results. At the same time, in many situations you cannot give up.
