Our little yesterday's snub-noses and babies are now not so babies at all. Teenagers! A very difficult period on the way of growing up, a hormonal rebellion. Teenage maximalism, mood swings. All this is so incomprehensible to adult parents.
What is the best way to behave with your matured child at the age of 11-15?
First. It is worth remembering yourself at that age and trying to accept all his rash acts. Now it seems to him that everyone around him does not understand, only he alone knows better who he is and what he is. At this age, children are looking for themselves and their way! Protest actions with the use of loud heavy music, causing clothing, ardent contradiction to adults, here is the first broken love, and the first alcohol with cigarettes. Your task is to be very patient with this behavior, if possible, to provide support in some moments. After all, remember how you lacked support from adults?
Second. At this interesting age, your child is highly dependent on the opinions of their peers. Their advice and opinions are much more important than the advice of adults. In this situation, you should not aggravate your situation and criticize his behavior. Refuse notation in conversation. In a personal conversation, try to find out the true motives of the act. Surely they will turn out to be completely harmless than you imagine. Learning to listen to your own child is extremely important. You don't have to go to him with advice, more often than not he just tries to speak out.
Third. In older classes, your little one begins to set values and look for a profession to his liking. How can you help him with this choice? Successful people enjoy their jobs. Your main mission here is to find his interests. Let your child learn by himself that this activity brings him joy and satisfaction. Unfortunately, in our time, many choose a profession for themselves under the guidance of their shortsighted parents, thereby dooming themselves to their not favorite routine work. They once gave up their childhood hobby, and in fact such a harmless hobby often becomes the work of a lifetime. It doesn't matter in what field of activity he sees himself, just help him in this.
