"14 years old" phenomenon, do not know how parents think, may be parents feel nothing, but the child to adolescence rebellious, after two years it will be fine. But the "14-year-old phenomenon" is extremely dangerous, read this article, and spend it safely with your children.
I have learned from a number of psychological counseling institutions that among the adolescent counseling cases they receive, 14-year-old children have the most prominent rebellious psychology.
Some children no longer accept the criticism of their parents with an open mind and begin to refute and resist.
The more parents and teachers do not let them do things, the more energetic they are, and they must "do it against" their parents.
This is what we often call the "14-year-old phenomenon".

14-year-old phenomenon
Some time ago, the media reported a shocking news:
Xiao Xiao, a 14-year-old teenager, assassinated his father in an Internet café.
The report wrote that Xiao Xiao's homework book had a question:
What do you do when your parents blame you?
He replied: tolerance, communication, exchange.
It can be believed that he is a person with good intentions and hopes that he can communicate with his parents.
But, as described in the news, he didn't say a word when Dad slapped him out of the Internet café.
Next, he pulled out his spring knife from his father...
In this tragic murder of the father, it is not difficult to notice that the teenager is exactly at the age of 14.
Coincidentally, Ran Naiyan, vice president of the Beijing Caring Youth Association, mentioned:
When children reach the age of about 14, many parents will find that children who were originally obedient and sensible become more and more rebellious.
Moreover, the mind is sensitive and fragile, and he is suspicious and unwilling to talk to his parents.
Even poor academic performance, bad behavior habits...

14 years old is a dangerous period
A study conducted by British scientists confirmed:
The age at which adolescents are most likely to fight, rebel, and learn badly is 14 years old;
British researchers conducted a survey of male participants aged 9-35, and the subjects were asked to play computer games;
By recording how satisfied or disappointed participants were with the outcome of the game, the scientists analyzed each of them' emotional responses.
It turned out that adolescents were more enthusiastic about risky behaviors that could make them feel stimulated, with 14-year-olds being the most prominent.
Neuroscientists at University College London in the United Kingdom analyze that:
Unlike children, adolescents are able to weigh the pros and cons of their own behavior, but they are more concerned with whether these behaviors bring them pleasure and stimulation than whether they are safe or not.
There are also some homeroom teachers in the middle school grades who reflect:
The age of about 14 years old belongs to a "dangerous period" in growth, and children at this age are prone to psychological problems.
Ms. Wang is a homeroom teacher with more than 10 years of experience in junior high school teaching.
She has written a paper on the education of 14-year-olds.
Teacher Wang mentioned that students around the age of 14 usually have the following six psychological characteristics:
First, the sense of self has "grown up", and the awareness of expressing oneself is enhanced;
Second, immature, speaking of perverse reasoning;
Third, overconfidence forms a conceited psychology;
Fourth, weak will, poor adaptability, psychological voids under pressure appear;
Fifth, there are abnormal emotions such as depression, decadence, numbness, and emotional apathy;
Sixth, there are phenomena such as irritability, retaliation, irritability, and irritation seeking.
Teacher Wang gave an example:
A boy surnamed Zhang, with excellent academic performance, often hurts people and beats people often in getting along with his classmates.
He repeatedly learned the martial arts action in the film to hurt others.
When asked what he thought when he did these things, the boy's answer was light: "There is no contradiction with his classmates, he just wants to vent." ”

14 years old is the best time to shape
Although children around the age of 14 may have problems of one kind or another, education expert Ran Naiyan stressed in an interview with reporters:
14 years old is a dangerous rebellious period, but also the best shaping period.
Writer Liu Qing said:
Although the road of life is long, the key is often only a few steps, especially when people are young.
Ran Naiyan believes that for children, the age of about 14 years old is such a critical period, and parents should grasp this critical period of their children.
To illustrate the criticality of adolescence in a child's development, he cites several stories of successful celebrities:
Bridge expert Mao Yisheng, after seeing the bridge collapse and crushing people to death at the age of 14, was determined to build the strongest bridge.
The 14-year-old Einstein and two companions talked about world news, scientific achievements, and all three of them later became scientists. ”
Ran Naiyan emphasized:
Children around the age of 14 are 'semi-mature'. There is an independent and mature side, but it is limited to experience and age independence, which also causes the most difficult period of family education. At this stage, parents must make sufficient efforts to properly solve the problem and let the child develop smoothly.

What parents should do
So, as parents, what guidance and support can we give our children?
For the family education of children of this age, the most difficult problem for parents to deal with is rebellion and disobedience.
Many parents have a lot of psychological pressure because of their children's rebellion.
They mainly have the following four manifestations:
First: Many parents will think that this rebellious child is used to torture themselves in this life, which is a typical victim mentality.
Second: In the face of rebellious children, they feel powerless and completely lose the ability to control their children.
Third: Children have exhausted their parents, fallen into despair, and lost confidence and enthusiasm for life.
Fourth: Many parents feel inferior and blame themselves for their incompetence and failure in educating their children.
Since these four mentalities are not advisable, what should parents pay attention to when dealing with the rebellious problem of their children's play?
Unconditionally accept children and love children
Many times children do not deliberately fight against their parents, but due to family education or physiological reasons in the growth period and the influence of the environment.
Therefore, after parents understand these causes, the first thing to do is to accept and understand the child, and do not complain about the child again.
Also know that the rebellious period is only a short period in a person's growth process, and it will soon pass;
Therefore, parents can accept and love their children unconditionally, help children to pass this period as soon as possible, and your children will love you more and respect you more in the future.
Parents should recognize themselves and change themselves
At this point, I hope that parents can pay attention to it.
Because many parents do not understand themselves in their own growth process.
Even if you are not mature, you can't solve problems rationally and objectively when you encounter things.
Even some parents themselves are extremely emotional, and before their children lose their temper, they get angry first.
Then this irrational emotional state of parents, in the process of educating children, is often the fuse that makes children rebel.
Because the premise of educating children is to have a peaceful mind.
So I hope that parents can change themselves and control their emotional state, so that your education is effective.
Companionship is the best love
Another psychological characteristic of children in this period is that they are often in a state of confusion and contradiction.
Although they feel like they've grown up, they want to deal with problems and solve problems like an adult.
But because they lack relevant experience.
So a lot of times they fail.
This failure, combined with the typical chaotic ambivalence, makes the child's psychological state at this time very painful.
If parents can accompany their children with unconditional acceptance and love at this moment, children will feel the warmth of the family.
This warmth will make the child's rebellion a lot less, so parents can give it a try.
Parents should leave a little time of their own
Parents care for their children, but they cannot be their children's nannies.
Pick-up and drop-off from school, children read books, accompany themselves to read, everything revolves around the child, so that the child has dependence.
Parents should take the initiative to find a little time and space to put their children aside for the time being.
This is not to ignore the child, but to create a better psychological environment for the child.
Raising children does not mean that parents have to give up personal needs and communication between husband and wife.
Taking advantage of this free time, couples have more exchanges and communication, and the harmony of the husband and wife relationship is crucial to family stability.
Many families, it is precisely because of the discord between husband and wife, quarreling all day, and even divorce, so that the children are greatly hurt, and the image status of the parents is greatly reduced in the minds of the children, which should be avoided.
In addition, parents need this free time to do something they like, away from the tedious chores and work, adjust their mood, and relax the nervous nerves.
Have a little sense of humor and don't regret your mistakes.
Believe in yourself as a good parent.
Good at work, good at rest, in order to be better at raising children.
