Parents of teenage children must not forget that they themselves were teenagers and that at that age almost any word can provoke a quarrel and conflict.
To make it easier, let's remember which parental phrases most irritate children who have entered the transitional period.
"It doesn't hurt to want" and "I want a lot of things too"
Surely everyone heard this answer in their childhood when they asked their parents for something.
But if you don’t take an interest in your child’s wishes, you can easily create an implacable enemy in the house.
"Get an education first"
This phrase devalues the child's achievements, skills, and goals. By trying to focus all of the teenager's interests on studying, parents are driving him into a corner and making him a limited person.
"How are you talking to me?!"
This phrase is heard in homes with an authoritarian regime. If a child does not yet have the skills to communicate with adults, does not know when to remain silent and when to speak, then it is easier for an adult in this sense.
Maybe he didn't want to offend anyone, it turned out the way it did.
"I'm tired of all this"
Perhaps this is the crown of parental recklessness. If a child does not find support in the family, then the place of the parents will be taken by someone more authoritative.
Therefore, all that remains is to be patient and offer a helping hand in time.
