A rebellious teenager to deal with? Ouch… It can quickly degenerate and become unlivable. Take my word for it, I have two at home! There is no guide for model parents, but some advice can sometimes be welcome so as not to freak out!
This famous crisis of adolescence is a period dreaded by all parents. However, it is an essential step for your child to develop and become, in turn, an adult. You will have to work with a lot of patience and diplomacy in order to live it without too many clashes.
How old does it start?
As soon as your child, sorry, your teenager shows the first sign of pubescent development, consider yourself a new member of the Club! In girls, it is not uncommon to see signs of puberty from the age of 10:growing breasts, appearance of the first hairs and menstruation... For our little guys, the thing that starts their puberty is... the coucougnettes coming down! Real thing ! And some of our little guys see their penis size getting longer from the age of 12-13…
What Are the First Symptoms?
Symptoms ? You will detect them very quickly:insolence, badly in your pumps, always tired, glued to your mobile phone, stressed, lack of communication, declining school results, aggressiveness, less kisses to your mother... There are almost countless of them!
How to Manage this Crisis?
Laxity or firmness? Difficult to answer this question:each child is so different with a personality of his own! However, I think I can say that yes, he needs authority more than ever. He is looking for his place, tries to exist by himself and is in the middle of a period of interior construction. He wants to live his own experiences, but without your limits, he risks burning his wings! Be firm, but always favor dialogue with him:it is essential and essential. Communication is the key to a peaceful ″cohabitation″!
What ? Are you freaking out too? Let's talk about it here, I'll leave the floor to you in the comments!
