Sometimes it can be difficult with teenagers. But no matter how hard it was and as it did not want to give up in frustration, parents should remember that their children are now too difficult and unlike adults have no life experience behind them.
We offer you a list of very simple tips that will help you establish a relationship with a teenager.
Accept and love your child unconditionally. It is this love and acceptance will help your child feel safe. Not finding acceptance at home, a teenager looking for it on the "street".
Develops adequate self-esteem of the child. Under the influence most likely to be young people with low self-esteem. Those who are unable to defend their point of view. So, to say "slave." They need to be led, and pointed out what to do. Of course, the development of self-esteem that parents play an important role. The higher the self-esteem of your child, the less likely that child is lost in someone else's opinion. Learn to appreciate your child not by works and deeds, but for the fact that he was just there in your life. Appreciate his personality, his feelings, his character traits, even the ones you do not like. For example, the slowness.
Praise your teen. Never praise was not superfluous. Use the principle: before you scold, tell at least three compliments. Thank him for his help. Make a habit of thanking the teenager for any little thing. Ask him for forgiveness, if you are guilty. Do this first.
Speak kind words and hugs. Teens need it, though, and even hide and shy these manifestations. This is especially true of teenage girls. If dad does not show his daughter warm feelings, she will look for them in other men.
Listen anytime, anywhere, as if you were not busy. If the parents at some point ceased to listen to your child because of employment, he would find a "free ears" on the street. And henceforth cease to contact you.
Remember, your child is unique, different. It is not necessary to compare it with a neighbor boy or girl, an excellent student, a good boy.
You love your child. Be proud of them. Be it an example. And know that the desperate situation does not happen. The sooner you start to restore your relationship, the sooner there will be changes in your child's adolescence.
