Introduction

Parenting can be the most gratifying task in the lives of adults. Nothing gives us more joy and pride than a happy, productive and loving child. Each age and stage of child development has specific goals and tasks. For newborn children it is to eat, sleep and explore their world. For teenagers it is to develop their own identity within the group of friends. Adolescents need many skills to successfully achieve their goal of greater independence. Some teens cannot make this transition without problems. The step towards more independence in adolescents can cause sadness and stress to their parents. Some aspects of this transition are normal and although they cause a lot of tension, they should not cause alarm for the parents.

Starting early is the best way to prepare for the adolescence of children.

The following are ways in which parents can prepare and prepare the child for a seamless transition and greater success in achieving the tasks of adolescent development:

●  Provide a safe and loving environment in the home.

●  Create an atmosphere of honesty, trust and mutual respect.

●  Allow the adolescent the appropriate independence for his age.

●  Develop a relationship with the child that allows you to trust the parents when you have concerns or problems.

●  Teach him the basic responsibility for his personal belongings and for his own.

●  Teach him the basic responsibility of helping at home. Teach him the importance of accepting limits.

●  These are complex processes that occur gradually and begin during childhood. The child's adolescent years will be less stressful when parents and children have worked together on these tasks through previous child development.

The ability to talk openly about problems is one of the most important aspects of the parent-child relationship. Developing this relationship requires persistence and understanding. The relationship develops gradually, by dedicating time to the child. Parents should take advantage of the opportunity to spend time with children during meals, telling stories, reading them, playing with them, during field trips, vacations and celebrations. Parents should try to devote some time to each child, especially if they are discussing difficult or sad topics. This relationship creates a foundation of trust that allows the child to discuss with his parents the problems and conflicts that arise during adolescence.

A parent-child relationship full of conflicts and tension in pre-adolescence may be a sign of the need for professional help. The time and energy that parents invest during the childhood of their children can prevent the small problems of childhood from becoming the serious problems of adolescence.

Let’s Start with Some Basics

Adolescence is usually a stage of experimentation and sometimes that experimentation includes risky behaviors. It does not avoid issues related to sex, drugs, alcohol and tobacco; If you talk openly with your child about these issues before they are exposed to them, they will be more likely to act responsibly when the time comes. Share your family's values ​​with your child and talk to him about what he considers right and wrong.

Get to know your child's friends and also the parents of their friends. Regular communication between parents can work wonders to create a safe environment for all adolescents who belong to the same group. Parents can help each other keep track of their children's activities without feeling watched.
