The first thing you need to know to communicate effectively is to use “active listening” toward the child. Active listening consists of reflecting on what the child wants to tell us without adding anything else. Active listening is essential to becoming people capable of learning information and responding with appropriate and suitable messages to the situation we are experiencing.

It is also essential to make children understand that, since there are many human beings, there are many points of view, and that sometimes criticism can also have a constructive purpose because it can give the starting point to reflect on one’s behavior, consider the way of thinking of others and push to improve oneself.

We must help them not to let them be conditioned by destructive criticism of those said only to do harm, perhaps dictated by envy or jealousy.

Preadolescence refers to a child between the ages of 11 and 13.

The pre-teen wants to establish and fix his own identity, which could lead him to create new friendships and social relationships, to have difficulty managing the current friendships, even those long-standing that have accompanied him throughout his childhood, want to explore their body and develop the first romantic relationships.

Adults need to stay calm and use an approach that is both reassuring and protective, promoting and exploratory. Without the adult support to go out into the world, some preteens would struggle to leave the house, even just for a short walk on the city’s main street. It is not always necessary to resort to dialogue to strike the right chords in the male world. Just share moments that strengthen the relationship, such as a concert or a game in the stadium.

If your child is angry, you should stay calm instead. A preadolescent in anger needs a calm and authoritative adult to show him what it means to stay in the here and now, to maintain control of the situation, even if you are in the grip of powerful emotion. If you lose your balance more than him in the face of his anger, yell, throw his cell phone to the ground, threaten him, and tell him words you never wanted to say, you will only accentuate his state of emotional activation. The goal of educational intervention is the exact opposite: to put the emotional brain in touch with the thinking brain and develop a conscious strategy to overcome the moment of difficulty.

It is important to set up proper communication with children from an early age. There is already the seed of the adult that will be in the child. If parents do not establish proper communication with their children, they may not be able to communicate effectively and establish positive interpersonal relationships when they grow up, moreover, growing up, there will be difficulties in communicating with the parents themselves.

Knowing and understanding how the child’s brain matures, when it reaches certain skills, and when it can perform certain mental operations can greatly help parents who interact with them daily. There are, many communicative situations in which children cannot fully understand the message, grasping only a part of it, and others that are even harmful or counterproductive.

Childrens are beautifuls:

grasp the non-verbal aspects of communication very well

(gaze, tone of voice, posture and movements, facial expressions…).

It would be nice to always remain consistent between the content of the message and the way we transmit it.

Everyone will eventually have used phrases like “don’t run!” Or “don’t yell!” just to see your baby start doing it immediately! These are limitations due to the functioning of the brain, and it is something that also belongs to adults. In fact, the brain works by representations so naming the action “running” immediately activates the representation of that action. t’s better to use positive phrases “Please slow down”, and “Can you lower your voice?”

The parent’s job is a bit like that of the tightrope walker, especially when it comes to the privacy of their children. To refer to the most classic of examples, it is not recommended to spy on the girl’s phone, even if she has the best intentions of her. It is a real invasion of the field: it is like wanting to be present in a room where your daughter confides in her best friend. The only solution to build a healthy relationship is a direct dialogue in which we try to listen rather than give indications. Pre-adolescents send signals all the time, you have to know how to grasp them.

It may happen that your child has become a person you don’t like in preteen years.

His passions do not convince you and you point it out to him. This is not the right approach because preadolescence is the age of experimentation in which children search for their own identity. A parent should be able to suspend judgment and accompany the child to discover the many possibilities available to him.

Our children are increasingly informed about relationship and more and more early. (Internet and the media in general). But what they learn from certain sources is not always adequate for their age. For this reason, it is good that parents first talk to him about it, in a way appropriate to their growth phase. It’s one of the hardest topics we can talk about with our children but that we can’t overlook because their voids can be filled with distorted information, which preteens learn every day from their surroundings, starting with the internet.

We should try to open a dialogue with him, without attacking,

but making ourselves present, expressing our doubts and concerns.

And, the moment they begin to open up, we should not attack them with offenses or humiliations.We should teach them that you can make mistakes, but you can get out of it; that a lie, even a big one, can always be fixed without feeling at a dead end.
