Adolescence catches not only children by surprise, but also their parents. The teenager is not really aware of the changes that are happening to him. And parents are not ready to perceive him in a new way. All this leads to the fact that the previously existing contact between the child and the parents collapses, and the teenager withdraws into himself.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to focus on your child's positive traits and praise him often. Do not skimp on praise, because, as you know, “praise inspires”. Praise your teenage child even if you think they could do a better job or job.
Step 2
Restrain yourself so as not to accidentally reproach the teenager. At this age, children are too critical of comments. A claim that escaped from your lips can lead to serious consequences: a teenager will begin to "wind himself up" and develop all sorts of negative thoughts, due to which complexes and low self-esteem may subsequently arise.
Step 3
Be subtle about your child's life. But remember: no notation! Criticism and notation are the enemies of your relationship with your teenage child!
Step 4
Try to become a real friend for your child. If you manage to find the "golden key" for your grown child, you will be able to ensure that the son or daughter will be extremely frank with you, which in turn will give you the opportunity to correct the child's actions and protect him from bad influence.
Step 5
All conversations and teachings with your teenage child should only be done in a friendly tone! If you feel that the peak of emotional tension is increasing, postpone the conversation until the feelings subside. Remember, before you start talking to your teenage child, you need to make eye contact.
Step 6
Share your life experiences with your child. However, in no case do not take on the entire burden of his mistakes, as this can lead to the fact that the teenager in the future will not be able to solve the problems that arise on his own.
