The problem of suicidal risk among adolescents is annually discouraged. 90% of suicidal acts are associated with drawing attention to oneself.
Therefore, it is extremely important to carry out early prevention in order to minimize the suicidal risk among adolescents.
Who can provide all possible assistance in this matter? Of course, the entire environment of the teenager who is interested in this. Here you need to know some of the features of the experience of their lives in adolescents.
1. Adolescence is a serious life crisis
The child is already old enough to think about the meaning of life and his purpose in it. At this age, adolescents begin to look for themselves, prioritize, or, conversely, go with the flow, but make choices that can affect their further path.
It is important to remember that this is a period of serious physical, emotional and psychological changes in personality, your child changes noticeably and turns into a person similar to adults. He has a clear opinion on a number of issues, his own style, his own interests and, of course, secrets appear.
It is natural that they may have suicidal thoughts, but the value system is what keeps a person in extremely difficult life situations. These can be parents, brothers and sisters, close relatives and friends, hobbies, achievements and hobbies, relationships with loved ones and respect for their pain, and most importantly, the value of life itself.
2. Parental involvement
It is important for parents to remember that by this age a teenager should have a right to privacy. To some extent, its presence for you as a parent may seem dangerous, you lose the ability to thoroughly control the life of your child.
Here, it is important to respect the need for this personal space, and not to avoid solving any issues with a teenager with whom understanding and authority have been lost. It can be very difficult, incomprehensible, to some degree of disappointment with them, but if there is respect for your own child, his interests, and his personality traits, this is already half the battle.
You can communicate this to him in different ways, while leaving the opportunity to be with your condition, if desired, alone. Tell your child that you are worried about him, without reproaches and assessments, take an interest in his mood and well-being, show patience in moments when the teenager behaves unbearably.
Of course, the patience of any person can run out and you can scold your child - the main thing is that you can explain to him why you are doing this. If at the time of the dispute it can be difficult, then be sure to speak, but do not bring the situation to a new conflict.
The child will learn to trust conversations with you and will not treat them as excessive stress and regular educational activities, and will perceive life itself as a series of pain and deprivation. This is a guarantee of the quality of life, in which there is no need to exchange it for something else.
3. Appreciate the loved ones of the teenager
If there are people around the child who sincerely love and care for him, do not interfere with this and do not be jealous. No gifts can replace personal attention and time with your child. Do not be afraid that someone can bribe your child, of course, unless you yourself have done or are doing the same, buying off gifts instead of time and attention.
It is wonderful that your child is sincerely important and dear to someone; in this modern material world, close and trusting relationships are very expensive.
All the same, as long as they are children, you will be the most important people, make this time happy for each of you. Love life sincerely and openly, then your children, even if they have a period of doubt, will choose what is really valuable and will be able to turn to you for help.
Adolescence is a challenge for both parents and adolescents themselves, therefore love him: so incomprehensible, impudent, uncontrollable - for what he is. Always find a time and place to talk to him. Don't miss this chance to build trust with him. Try, make mistakes, try again.
Even if nothing works out for you, there is something that you can definitely give him - your love. And where there is sincere love, there is trust and understanding, participation and respect for each family member and his interests. Do not think that love for a child appears automatically with his birth, yes, new feelings appear for yourself and your child, but the path of love is a lifelong road.
Don't stop - love life and your loved ones, this is the surest way
