8 Ways to Educate Adolescents That Can Be Applied by Parents

Yesterday afternoon, when my son and I were eating together during school breaks, as usual we filled the time to share their stories.

Vay told me about a webinar he had just attended with his classmates. A general webinar event organized by one of the ministries and attended by students from any school (but I don't know if it's just junior high school students or also including high school students).

Vay said, during the webinar he saw many teenagers (who in his understanding are the same age as him) behave inappropriately, such as turning on the voice and deliberately screaming when the speaker was talking across there, flooding the chat column with indecent comments, until someone smoked with an open camera.

I could see the shock, astonishment and anger on Vay's face. During his time in school and until the age of now, he had never been involved with the environment as he told me, the middle school teenager who smoked, said dirty blatantly, etc.

Why do so many teenagers lack respect? What's wrong with educating him? As quoted from Empowering Parents, many parents forget that children are not born with automatic respect for others. Children must be taught and educated to have respect.

In the adolescent phase, educating teenagers to be a good and great person is not impossible as long as parents pay attention to the important points. There is always a difficult phase of establishing communication withteenagers, but we parents do need to understand this because this is the child's growing time.

How to Educate Teenagers1. Let your child be more independent by learning to make their own decisions

The child's world instantly changed as soon as he entered adolescence, wanted to be more independent and a little began to dislike his mother's father. Just like parents in general, I also have not fully accepted this condition, so at least still release want to dictate the child, hehe. Start with ya parents! Do not all be directed, such as choosing an exkul, how to dress, etc. It turns out that this attitude is not liked by children, the ends can later argue between parents and children. Let your child socialize with the environment, but keep an eye on it.

Love children time to get to know and explore their environment, either school friends or friends outside the home, in addition to parents and family. They need to get out to get to know new friends, get to know characters, because socializing helps children learn things including coaching leadership and making decisions. This will greatly help also train children to become more independent, as in point one.

As long as we see our teenage children in a positive friendship environment, there is no need to worry. The important thing is to keep an eye on it.

Adolescents are very easily exposed to information, therefore parents should be the first place to provide proper education to them about the things they will encounter during association. Such as providing sex education, telling why alcohol and drugs should be avoided, including education about the dangers of driving while texting. Give responsibility and trust to children

Trying to give responsibility and trust to the child will greatly help the child to be independent quickly, and this will be very useful until he grows up. Of course, give limits as well. For example, children may watch a movie a little night with their friends, but remind him that after leaving the cinema, tell the parents and go straight home. This is a simple example but quite effective. Make mutually agreed rules

Make a common rule to be agreed upon preferably when the child has entered pre-adolescence. Because once they have been released as teenagers, it has begun to be difficult to manage them. If you still want to be at home with your parents, now you want the same friends continue. So the rules of parents still have to be there. Like, can't drink alcohol, can't smoke, can't go home past 8 p.m., etc.

These important rules are part of how to educate teenagers. Invite children to be involved in making rules, so they will feel involved and considered the same parents. This is one of the best ways in which children will feel respect when treated like adults. Set a good example and example

There's nothing better than a real example. Parents must have high hopes for their children, because it also does a real example as a form of our hope for children. For example, if we want teenagers to be light-handed children, children who diligently learn and diligently worship, well the role of parents is to provide examples and examples of good attitudes. Don't be saggy to motivate your child's goals.

One way to educate teenagers is to encourage children to continue to develop, explore their abilities. If your child likes to write long in front of a laptop, direct him to hone his talents more seriously. Occasionally invite children to try other things outside the ordinary so that their minds are open and maybe he will find a new interest that can be his serious ideals later. Provide children with a healthy way to manage stress

It's no less important. How to educate other adolescents is to teach them how to manage stress in the current phases of adolescent life. Teenagers can also be depressed, and it's important that parents are always by her side, accompanying, listening and motivating, and teaching them healthy ways to manage stress, whether exercising, playing music, camping, etc.

That strong mentality is created by proper upbringing and practice. Teach your teen that stress is a part of life, and he may face it often as an adult, but he should also be able to stress well so as not to interfere with his daily life. Conclusion

Dizzy being a parent? Same, I'm :) too. It's okay, no parent is perfect, the important thing is to keep trying so that our child can at least be a child who has respect and later ready to fight in life.
