The teenage period often becomes the most hard time in education of the child. Children at this age can especially make various unseemly acts which have to cause fair punishment.
Difficult choice
Difficult for parents is a question of punishment of the child for offense. Absolutely it is necessary to react in any way – impunity gives rise only to impunity. Too to stand in the corner of the 12-year-old teenager already late. The main thing in any punishment – that the 12-year-old teenager not just was afraid to make repeatedly an unseemly act because it will deprive of material benefits, the main thing - awareness of the done harm.
If the teenager, for example, hit someone or called, force it to apologize publicly. It is good if it happens in a class or on the street at all. Besides, parents have to explain quietly and in details that it is impossible to offend others, especially if the person is weaker.
Will be effective if you send the prankster to walk one, but not with friends, proving it by the fact that if he cannot walk with friends because does not find a common language, then let one walk. It is very effective way. Communication with peers is important for 12-year-old children. Perhaps, the most widespread among parents is punishment of children in the form of deprivation something significant and pocket money. As for restriction of access to the computer, use of the Internet and viewing favourite telecasts, it is effective. But you should not deprive of money. As well as it is not necessary to encourage the child to study and perform housework "for money". The guilty child can be not let on a school excursion or to take a picnic with parents. Instead of entertainments give it feasible housework. 12 years are that age when the teenager needs to be involved in household chores.
The main thing – unity of approach
In questions of punishment all family members have to adhere to uniform policy. It is no secret that often one parent punishes, and another immediately makes concessions. Or parents punish, and grandmothers and grandfathers smooth punishment. Such situations teach children, especially teenagers in 12-13 years, to maneuvre between the family and to manipulate them. So first of all consent has to be between adults. The teenager at the age of 12-13 years should be accustomed to the solution of problems without fists and insults, a rational way. If you are not able to make something, and the problem is not fixed, then it will be useful to address the psychologist. In it there is nothing shameful. Sometimes the 12-year-old teenager can just not perceive the words of parents, and to assessment of the act from outside will listen.
