Los años de la adolescencia pueden ser tiempos emocionantes de crecimiento, pero pueden ser una tensión en su relación. A medida que su hijo entra en la preadolescencia y la adolescencia, su cerebro cambia de manera que hace que encuentre a su “tribu” de compañeros. Esto puede significar que es menos probable que busquen el consejo y la validación de los adultos, pero no significa que no necesiten su guía tranquila y constante.

Usted puede ser como muchos padres que quieren ser más pacientes. Tal vez quieras dejar de gritar, amenazar y castigar. Sin embargo, no puede imaginar cómo inspirar la cooperación sin esos viejos métodos de reserva. Probablemente no se sorprenda al saber que a través del castigo puede asustar a un niño para que siga instrucciones a corto plazo, pero no obtiene cambios de comportamiento a largo plazo. Muchas  investigaciones sociales han demostrado sin duda que los niños buscan conexión con sus padres y aquellos padres que enfocan esa conexión en un comportamiento positivo, ganan más cooperación.

You may be envisioning relaxed time, more family connection and more fun. In reality as summer unfolds, parents say there are lots of conflicts about screen time, hassling kids to read more, maybe play outside more and in the end feeling like you somehow missed out on what seemed in June to be a wonderful opportunity. Ironically all that “freedom” can be confusing and even stressful. Working parents feel there isn’t enough time and at home parents feel overwhelmed with possibilities. Let’s consider a new approach – make a big, positive PLAN with your family. This conversation will give you the tools to:

  • Make a plan for summer that includes everyone’s goals.
  • Discuss daily routines and how they might stay the same or change. These might include family play time, screen time, reading time, other activities. 
  • Make the most of your time together through playfulness and meaningful conversations.
