Adolescence is one of the most critical age periods. At this time, adolescents experience vulnerability, mood instability, and inappropriate behavior. Close attention and care from adults will help in overcoming conflicts and complications.
Instructions
Step 1
Teenagers begin to actively seek independence in order to show their adulthood. They try to ignore the demands of their elders, which they have always met before. Adolescents tend to limit the influence of adults in relation to themselves, they are afraid of visible or apparent infringement of their rights. At the same time, the teenager seeks support from the elders. He needs an adult to become a real friend to him. Joint pastime and activities will help the teenager to establish spiritual contacts, satisfy his need to share his experiences, tell about events in his life.
Step 2
The teenager may begin to shy away from fulfilling the responsibilities assigned to him. Under the new conditions, the argumentation of demands coming from an adult becomes important. What seems like stubbornness devoid of any meaning is a desire to defend one's opinion.
Step 3
The reaction of a teenager's protest also arises when there is a conflict situation in the family. In an effort to attract attention to himself, a child, oppressed by an indifferent attitude towards him, commits minor offenses, thus trying to annoy his parents. Differences in the words and actions of mom and dad deform the psyche of a teenager. Lack of attention from adults is painful for a teenager. Feeling superfluous and unnecessary to anyone, the child begins to live his secret life.
Step 4
The teenager reacts painfully to his failure in any area. He sets out to compensate for his weakness with success in another area. At the same time, the activity that presents the greatest difficulties is often chosen for self-realization. Trying to hide their insecurity, adolescents try to appear overconfident, become stubborn and cocky. Be gentle and tolerant with your child, talk to him more often.
Step 5
Excessive custody negatively affects the child's behavior, depriving him of the opportunity to feel independent and free. The confrontation between the teenager and the parents is only growing.
Step 6
Dreaming about the future, a teenager overestimates the level of his individuality. His professional plans are focused more on prestige than on his own personality and his ability to achieve the goal.
Step 7
The teenager tries to follow the example of the best. The boy tries to imitate football players, fashion singers, racers in everything. The girls sigh as they look at photographs of models and film actresses. A teenager is worried about an ugly appearance, is often too critical of himself, seeks out and finds flaws in himself. He needs your support.
Step 8
Often, a teenager starts thinking about death. He becomes scared at the thought of the fleeting nature of life. They see death as a way out of conflicts, some children develop suicidal thoughts. Take care of your child, surround him with attention.
