Sprout Teens.
There comes a time when children from a warm, tender young age step into a bright, eventful period of adolescence. This transition takes place accumulating in the colors of the "growth-years" events. The events of family life are woven by the convoy into the fabric of shared memories, emotions, impressions, creating a model of Inheritance.
Have you noticed that children of ten or eleven years old are little repetitions? They copy adult manners of behavior, clothes, thus joining modernity. Their desire to be at the peak of fashion, to be “Top” people is the # 1 topic that worries the younger generation.
Teenagers visualize a picture with bright clothes, screaming hairstyles: Notice Me! Pay attention to me! Does this message look like information and direction signs? I think yes! Signs of a dangerous turn, slippery road, steep descent and other warnings signal the need for increased driver attention. Likewise, parents, at least, have a reason to think and contact support and understanding of the child's SOS-Standing.
A separate topic is youth slang. It has existed at all times and has a special value for every younger generation. I confess that at one time, my dad was puzzled by my trump card with the terminology of a card game: "Mama-Lady", "Mama-Ace" and even wrote a story about this. Years go by and mores change. Modern communication with peers is sometimes distorted by the substitution of the meaning of words. For example, the phrase "I find it funny" in modern slang sounds like "I yell." And then there is a bunch, if I yell, then I am laughing. And when I laugh, I laugh louder, because I scream. Attracting attention to yourself by Voice - topic # 2. Thus, through the cover of the thick-skinned people around, a breakthrough sounds outward: Hey people, can you hear me? Can you hear me well enough ?!
Likewise, in the communication of children with their parents, the child begins to assert himself in the role of an elder. Trying parental patience with phrases “you run up”, or even worse … from which the ears fade, the child violates the boundaries of permissibility, violates the territory of contacts. In this case, it is most acceptable to switch to you with the child. This technique has deep roots in traditional Ukrainian parenting. People who grew up in families where parents were called by name and patronymic and addressed: Dad-You, Mom-You deeply respect their parents.
The current reality is saturated with the influences of hit music. From the radio and TV air sounds brrrya, kei-kei-kei, troll … And in the background hee-hee-hee, ha-ha-ha. It's great when music helps to release from the stress of the day. Better yet, form the child's aesthetic taste in advance. By instilling a culture of music perception at an early age, parents have a beneficial effect on the level of confidence and life-affirming position of the child in the future.
Summing up the above, I will emphasize one simple truth: joint family pastime is a balm from alienation and interpersonal conflicts. Panthea of parental communication with a child, a pill of mutual interest plus attention syrup is the most effective way to satisfy the Basic Need for Trust.
