Adolescent children are in the process of sudden changes both psychologically and physiologically, so communication with them should be conducted in a peaceful or friend-to-friend manner, rather than in the form of reprimands or education. Accusations only make communication more and more difficult.
1. Don’t yell. Parents can easily become angry because of their children's attitudes and yell unconsciously, which makes them more likely to fall into a vicious cycle of bad communication. But at this time, adults must tolerate children. As adults, it is difficult for us to control our emotions, so why should we ask adolescent children to do better than us? Give them tolerance. No matter how noisy or out of control they are, we as parents must keep ourselves calm. When I really couldn't control it, I said to myself, "This is my biological child. It's not easy to raise such a big child."
2. Understand and respect children. When children reach adolescence, they begin to develop a liking for the opposite sex, fall in love with others, and may also be liked by others. This is very normal, but it is usually difficult for parents to accept it. They think that how can their children think about falling in love at such a young age? The task now is to study. Once it is discovered that a child has signs of "puppy love", he will scold him indiscriminately without considering the child's feelings at all. The child will gradually become alienated from his parents, and will not tell his parents anything because his parents do not respect him. Children prefer new things, but some parents find it difficult to accept them and will look down on the things their children like. They either belittle or suppress them. This makes the children feel that they are not understood, and they will have fewer and fewer topics to talk to their parents.
3. Give children the opportunity to talk about problems and learn to listen. As children grow up, they will encounter many problems. Children's tolerance is always much lower than that of their parents. Some parents do not listen carefully when their children first raise objections. Instead, they directly interrupt or force their children to accept their requests.
Over time, children will no longer listen to their parents’ opinions when making choices, because they feel that if they ask their parents for their opinions, they will not listen to them and will force themselves to accept their parents’ opinions. opinions, so an irritable attitude will appear during communication, and family conflicts will form unknowingly.
When children are older, you can no longer treat them as children. You must make friends with your children based on the authority of your parents. If you treat your children as friends, you will not talk to them in a preachy and restrictive manner, but rather establish a relationship of equal communication with your children. When a child feels respected, he will feel love. This kind of love is free and not oppressive, and he will naturally communicate well with his parents
