Nowadays the children step into adolescence a little bit earlier than several decades ago. It is very important to understand the process of communication and the peculiarities of teenager’s mind. If the parents of a teenager make mistakes while talking to their child that may lead to various problems in the future. While you child still stands in the childhood with one foot and considers you to be his best friend try to learn how to communicate with him. My daughter is 10 years old. She is pushing her period of adolescence that’s why I decided to ask her boldly how does she want me to act. Her answer was simple. Cunningly smiling she asked me to buy whet she wanted and to do what she wanted. But when she tried to answer seriously she told that some parents of her friends pile them up with the unnecessary information and demand too much from them.
The matter is that girls’ nervous system undergoes a great distress due to the hormonal changes during adolescence. As a result the female teenagers experience frequent mood alternations. Everything may seem perfect to your daughter but in a minute she may burst our in tears. The girls who didn’t pay much attention to their appearance get too concerned about their look. They may diet secretly damaging their health. Though they seem detached and indifferent the adolescents are extremely sensitive and don’t take the things easy.
The main rule to follow when communicating with a teenager is not to practice upon your authority. Be aware that your child is an individual and his views may differ from yours whether you like it or not. We are able to accept the position of our relatives or colleagues, so why don’t we put up with the opinion of our children? Allow your child to get both positive and negative experience if it wouldn’t damage his health. Along with that don’t gratify all their fancies.
Young teenagers are to have their duties. They may be cleaning up their room and doing their best at school. Studying is a hard work so don’t overload teenagers with excessive duties. But make sure that your children study diligently.
Don’t swear off the offered help. Go shopping and cook meals together with your children. The collaborative activity sometimes provides more emotional communication than a mere talk. Make the teenagers feel themselves needed. That will prevent the feeling of overwhelming loneliness that adolescents are likely to experience.
A thesis is a foraml study of a subject matter, a written report that explores a topic, a research paper. The narrative is all the words in the paper/report/thesis. An outline of your narrative is an outline of the study/paper/report/thesis you will be writing. Each year in English classes, you write, starting with words, then sentences, then paragraphs, then stories and essays. How to do each has been explained to you over the years, including how to outline (organize an outline is a method of summarizing the writing’s organization) each (paragraph, story, essay what to write first, second, third, etc., and why you put thoughts/points in a certain order). Each of these built upon the one that came before: an essay is an organized group of paragraphs, a paragraph is an organized group of sentences, etc. All of this has been leading up to a thesis, where you choose a topic, research and make notes on the writings of others on the topic, organize the information into a logical writing, analyze what you’ve learned and add to the literature or knowledge on the subject by adding your own reasoned thoughts and ideas, which you justify by using others’ works and your own analysis. You’ve been taught how to outline: A. ___. Indented and under A: 1. __ 2. __ 3, __, Maybe a. __ and b. __ under some or all of the numbers. Then B. __ C__ Your textbook Table of Contents is an outline of the material in the textbook. (You can think of the textbook as a long thesis.)First, you choose a topic. One current possible subject is Childhood Obesity: a lot is being written, reported, and studied on that. You’d do some preliminary research and pick one aspect of the subject as your topic: for example, Overcoming the Causes of Childhood Obesity. Research that, make notes (including information to make correct citations of others’ work on the topic), think about it from various angles (is there an umbrella under which all causes can be grouped or are the reasons too different), try to think of an umbrella or classification for the reasons. What various ways can the causes be overcome? Think how your thesis will run what you’ll say first, second, third. Then write the outline (the Table of Contents, if you will, of your paper).A thesis involves a lot of work and takes a lot of time (weeks, if not months). Your teacher is breaking it down into parts to guide you. She probably handed you a sheet of information; if not, she discussed it in class. She has deadlines for several of the parts to be turned in, because you can’t do it all in two weeks and she’s helping you stay on top of the project so you can do it and do it well. Being able to complete a project that can take months (even years) when you have other things to do is a very, very valuable skill (a large part of life), and she’s trying to teach you how to do it by helping you do it once on a relatively small scale.You can expect to do at least one thesis in your senior high school year, and probably in your junior year. In college, expect to do at least one or two each semester for different courses, not just your English courses. They will be longer, more detailed, and more complex and will take hundreds of hours of effort and no one will be standing over you and reminding you that this needs to be done by now if you’re to meet the paper’s deadline and get a good grade on it. Theses are assigned so you learn valuable information (and in the hope that you’ll add to the collective knowledge on the subject). Your teacher is preparing you to do them for college, and for many, many types of jobs after college, by having you do this one. Because you don’t even understand her words, you have a lot of re-reading and catching up to do, because, I can assure you, this was not the first time the project was mentioned. This was only a reminder of the deadlines for two parts of it. (Even if you think you’ll never have a job where you must write a report, EVERY job requires that you understand different things and juggle different tasks, many of which occur over long periods of time, so the organization, analysis, reasoning, and time management parts of the thesis will aid you no matter what type of work you do.)
