How to teach the teenager of responsibility
Learn to perceive the teenager as the adult. There passed childhood when parents completely took the responsibility for the kid. To certain age to sponsor and protect the child from problems – a direct duty of adults. But it is important to know when to stop and allow the teenager most to study the world. Communicate with the teenager more, do not allow it to move away from you. Your talk should not carry a shade of notations, you do not lecture the child, and explain and discuss difficult situations in life. In this way communication will bring more results, than educational conversations. Give to the teenager freedom. Do not control each step when he goes with friends for a walk. Do not exasperate with infinite calls. Loosen controls and show that you trust. If the child blindly follows instructions of parents, he will not learn independence and will not become responsible for the life. Allow the teenager to make mistakes and to correct consequences. It does not belong to criminal or dangerous occupations. But if the student shirks classes and he should work the passed material, further it will not be so legkomyslen. Do not plague. Allow the child to cope with the duties independently. It is not necessary to remind or make the detailed instruction. If asks – you will prompt, but give the chance to prove. It is possible to begin with simple affairs, and with age to complicate instructions. Remind the teenager of the forthcoming adulthood. Define for yourself at what age you release the child in independent swimming. Gradually prepare it for it. At first washed away "Soon you will independently do everything", and then concretize "In 2 years you will become full age, and you should provide yourself". Do not give a weak point. It is very difficult to look at unsuccessful attempts of the child, thoughts can appear to be given and to independently solve all his problems. But such tactics will forever make the teenager dependent on you and irresponsible. If you told that study completely on his conscience, it is not necessary to solve problems or to write the diploma. Only having passed through it test, the child will be able to mature and learn responsibility.
