The day of the teenager

At once I want to note that the daily routine of a teenager is so individual that it is pointless to rely on any standard standard scheme. There is an ancient wisdom that says that with a child of up to six years you have to behave as if he were a gentleman, with a teenager - as a subordinate, and with an adult - as a friend. To take it literally, of course, is not worth it, but there is a rational grain here. Children aged 10-15 years are intensively developing. Together with this, a rebel grows in the teenager. His body undergoes cardinal changes, and the mental state also changes. The child is formed as a person and simultaneously as a part of a huge society. At this time it is very important to establish the regime of the day of the teenager and try to observe it.

The concept of "regime of the day" includes not only light day, but also night, because at this time teenagers can do something other than sleep. Therefore, the correct regime for a teenager's day should consist of 24 hours of lessons useful for him, so that the time for stupidity is zero. It's not about total 24-hour monitoring, but rather about avoiding unnecessary situations. For example, on Saturday morning, when you do not need to go to school, the child wakes up at seven in the morning without problems, but at the same time on Monday you will not wake him. Of course, after all, there was such an interesting film on TV late at night!

Doing the lessons

Every mother knows how long it takes a teenager to do homework. One child has one hour, another two. But if lessons are selected more than three hours a day, then it is worth finding out the reason. It is possible that it is a matter of non-assembly and inability to organize your own time. Parents should adjust such features of the teenage day regime, motivating them, for example, with a walk. Knowing that you can walk until seven in the evening, the child will try to make lessons faster. But the quality will be checked by the mother, who will decide whether it is possible to allocate time for a walk with such a homework.

Personal time

Creating a regime for children and adolescents without taking into account a certain amount of personal time is unacceptable. Each person has his hobbies, and they need to take time. Well, if a hobby is connected with pastime on the street. Football, hockey, roller skates or playing classics will help to lift the school load, distract from daily duties and will benefit health. But remember that by introducing the elements of democracy in the working and recreational mode of a teenager, you must be sure that he has his own opinion, life position and beliefs. Adolescence is the time when the first cigarettes, alcohol and sexual intercourse appear in a person's life. Bans, punishments and continuous restrictions can not solve this problem. The main thing is mutual trust. Having told parents about their problems, experiences, the child should be sure that he will receive help, advice, and will not be punished.

Sleep

In this "tender" age, the mode of study and recreation of a teenager should provide for at least nine hours of night sleep. Only in this case will the child receive a full rest.

A teenager is not an infant, you can not make him sleep, so you need to create certain conditions that favor a normal night's rest. Dinner should be offered no later than 2-3 hours before bedtime. At night, do not allow a teenager to sit by the computer or TV. If you notice that the child has something to worry about, do not ignore it, talk to him heart to heart. It's just the sight of 15-year-old "hedgehogs" seem to be adults, but in reality everyone waits for Mom to come into his room, kiss and wish good night.
