ThinkRite for Kids n Teens - Happenings
Everyday we have been meeting the worried and the disgruntled parents of teenagers and kids on the verge of teenage. The common problem seems to be rebellion and aggression. The three day workshop will completely take care of this problem. Anyways I would like to educate the parents about what in psychology is called a “No phase”. Every teenager undergoes a “No Phase” for a certain length of time during which s/he blindly rejects anything that the parent might say. A typical response of denial characterizes his attitude to everything. This is a natural developmental process in a teenager in shaping his personality and carving out his identity. Dependant on the upbringing and several other factors this “No Phase” will last anywhere between a few weeks to three years. The suppression of this phase only leads to a longer “No Phase”. Sometimes when the suppression is extreme the children can live out their life in a constant “No Phase” becoming terrible spouses.
Once this phase has started in the child, the parent should immediately shift to the friend personality. Without condemning or criticizing the behavior, simply become a friend in all things that are not important. Do not assume the role of a disciplinarian as this will only lengthen the period of battle. Do not suppress his expressions as this will have adverse effects. Instead assume the role of a friend giving him a watchful freedom. Put down your feet only in case of extreme and important issues. Being a friend will shorten the phase and the child will naturally and freely develop an empowered identity.
ThinkRite for kids and teens is a workshop that will take care of this developmental phase most effectively, it will equip the child with strategies to deal with all problems during this phase as effectively as possible. Also the workshop will shorten no phase very much, if not complete the whole process in a week.
Looking forward eagerly to see the miracle work itself!
