The author of this book has an 18-year-old son. Based on her own personal experience with her son, she talks about the problems faced by young children and the advice she gives to parents. It was very useful after reading it. Every example given by the writer is as if it happened at home, giving some suggestions and help to those who are confused, overwhelmed and anxious.
For example: teenagers play with electronic products, procrastinate on homework, don’t want to go to school, don’t want to go to interest classes, make friends, don’t want to cut their hair (my child’s hair-washing makes me very nervous), etc., all of them are given to me. A good method was found. No matter how we get along, we must first make sure that we love our children, just like the book says: "Connect with your emotions first and then correct your behavior." Only with love can our attitude be soft and we can look at problems from the child's perspective. For example: Last week, my daughter said she didn’t want to go to a physics cram school, but she just didn’t go. I said it would be a waste if she didn’t go to a physics cram school because it costs so much money. She yelled angrily: "I've had two weeks of classes and two days of exams. You want to exhaust me to death!" Based on what the book said, I followed her and let her arrange her own time to rest and relax. I can still feel her sunny smile, which has been rare since high school! High school is the most tiring three years. If parents can't relieve their children's pressure and increase the pressure, the adolescent children will be so unfortunate.
In these three years, I want to be confident and happy first, try my best to enrich and improve myself, so that my children can feel like a happy mother and a warm and loving home when they go home. When you have different opinions with your children: you must first close your mouth and open your ears. Listen to your child's ideas first, and then explore solutions together with your child.
Dear baby, your adolescence is also a period of growth for your mother. I am willing to grow up with you and accompany you through this period. After going through these high school days, you will thank yourself. I was great at that time. I hope you can say more, "There is still a mother in adolescence."
