Adolescence is the time they seek identity and want freedom. Therefore, the right way is needed when managing children. Including, equip children with basic abilities that are very necessary for their lives in the future. What are the basic abilities that children need to enter adolescence?
1. Prepare your own meal
Entering adolescence, children must begin to be independent and do simple things for their own needs.
For example making breakfast for yourself, or preparing lunch. This is important to teach and get used to so that he can meet his own food needs.
Even so, this does not mean parents should stop helping children prepare food. The important thing is to give children the opportunity to start learning how to cook.
When parents are unavailable, whether because of illness, or work, parents will be more calm to let go of their children to prepare their own meals. The child is also not panicked and confused, because he already has this basic ability.
2. Take care of his own luggage
Maybe first when you were little used to preparing children's luggage, when going to school or traveling. However, don't let it cross the line.
Give children responsibility with their luggage. Starting from preparing the contents of the bag, carrying bags wherever they go, storing bags, to returning all of his luggage when he arrived home.
Do not let the habit of children entrust everything to their parents still occur at an increasingly mature age. This can be a bad habit until the child enters working age.
Train children to always prepare their needs, such as making notes on what items are needed before leaving. Then, give full responsibility for the items until they are stored back at home.
3. Treat small wounds
Teach children not to panic easily when injured. Tell what to do after being injured falling from a bicycle, scratching a knife, and so on. Teaching this basic ability is even younger, even before he entered adolescence.
It's natural for children to cry and whine when they fall. However, teach children to be able to control the pain. It hurts when it hurts, but emphasize to the child that there is something more needed when the wound is more than just whining or crying.
Tell them that bleeding should not be too long, how to stop the blood, how to wash the wound, how to use red medicine or ointment for antibiotics themselves, how to put on a bandage, and so on.
4. Shop and arrange your own money
Adolescence is often associated with unstable emotions and cannot yet determine priorities, including when managing money. You have to start training the baby from a small level in managing the money he has.
You can train it by getting kids to shop. Explain when you shop, about any budget and needs that must be purchased. Give your child the task to buy some household items.
For example, you shop with a child but give a note to him, give responsibility also to pay at the cashier.
5. Use your own public transportation
Do you want to let your daughter up to the age of 20 years and above not be able to live independently outside? No one ever knows how long you will be able to accompany or facilitate them.
Before this becomes a habit that is difficult to remove, make it a habit for children to dare to ride public transportation and understand public transportation around it.
You can accompany him to feel public transportation, give an understanding of how to maintain yourself in public transportation, what to do if lost on the road, what vehicle should be chosen.
Give those experiences early, so that when they enter adolescence they have that courage.
6. Clean the house
Basic abilities such as washing dishes, sweeping, cleaning dust, tidying up your own room, or at least making your house neat and clean are also the mandatory abilities that children must have into adolescence.
The habit of children not cleaning up their toys, not throwing trash in its place, spilling food or drinks must be removed. Instill in children, that this is their place of residence, their property that must be treated.
If since entering adolescence and are still brutal with habits that always make a mess, or do not want to clean up, of course, until now it will become a habit even when later owning your own home.
7. Wake up in the morning on time
Waking up in the morning must also be trained and accustomed since childhood, you know. Give children the responsibility to regulate their hours of sleep and waking hours. Preferably, don't always wake the child. Because, later the child will always depend on other people.
Install an alarm and sleep at the same time so you can get up early to go to school. If it's too late, it's an important lesson for the child. That way, children will try to set their own time so that they are not late.
8. Dare to talk to unknown people
When a child is still small, you may have given advice not to chat with strangers, Well, that is indeed true for the safety of children, but growing up children should be brave enough to talk to people who are not known for certain purposes.
The truth is not forbidding children not to talk to strangers, but to teach children to distinguish between strangers who are suspicious or dangerous, and which foreigners are normal.
The ability to distinguish this person is a skill. It is not a sudden ability that children can have when they are big. This needs to be honed and taught.
Give children the opportunity to, ask directions on the road, ask the waiter in the shop, ask for help with officers, and so forth.
