Everyone knows that it is difficult to please a teenager, but this does not mean that the teenager himself takes literally everything he hears with hostility.
On the contrary, he will even be glad to hear some words and phrases and looks forward to them at every appropriate opportunity.
Experts told parents how to find a common language with their teenager.
First, consult
If a child knows that his parents are interested in his opinion and even consult with him, he will be the first to take a step towards them.
Just don't ask for advice on trifles and act pretentiously.
Secondly, be encouraging and supportive.
Even if you are not entirely happy with your child’s new hobby, support him at least for the fact that he is interested in something other than gadgets.
It's a simple trick, but it will help your child move forward and look for a new direction.
And if you make a mistake, don’t say out loud, “But I told you it would be like this.” Instead, support him and suggest trying again.
Thirdly, don’t hide your feelings.
Emotions, experiences – it’s all wrong. Children understand this, but, just like adults, they want to be loved regardless of their behavior, grades or interests.
