“Don’t make this tragedy,” advises the candidate of pedagogical sciences Marina Arromstam. – It is worth recognizing for the teenager the right to his own territory. “.“Not only does a teenager do not remove in his room. He demands that you do not wipe the dust on his table, do not put scattered wheels and pieces of paper in piles. Perhaps he even stated that he would like to cut the castle into his door so that the “outsiders” would not enter it without knocking. “Outsiders” is primarily – parents. He no longer remembers, does not want to know with what love you repaired the nursery, chose furniture together and placed books and toys on the shelves. Now he sees in this room only his own territory, on which others encroach.
A small child with pleasure shares the occupied space with parents, whom he feels part of himself. The teenager, on the contrary, lives “for the gap”. It is important for him to feel like a separate, self -sufficient. He, like an animal, is ready to “mark” his territory
to convince himself and others of his own rights. But he still greatly depends on adults, extremely needs your love and, most importantly, understanding. At heart, he expects from his parents to help him become independent.
Recognize the primacy of the child on this piece of space. Yes, now you have to stipulate the opportunity to get out, rearrange something on the shelves or replace furniture. But, if the child has been accustomed to cleanliness since childhood, he is unlikely to object to him if you ask: “Maybe I (or someone else) after breakfast I will wash the floor in the room?”Ask him to surpass from yourself when he will be comfortable. And it’s good if he found time to figure out his table and wipe the dust that does not benefit his equipment.
It is unlikely that such an appeal will cause resistance, because in this way you emphasize its “property law” and only offer help. As for the need to knock, make this a rule even before the child himself formulates it. But ask him and knock him in your room. After all, we are talking about mutual respect, and you just emphasize that you are ready to see an individual in a child. The same as you yourself “.
