Treat your child properly

Oh Eun-young, who has served as a strong bridge between children and parents through "Parents" and "My Child Has Changed," answers the anxious questions of parents of adolescents with refreshing exclamation points!

“If I talk, there’s no end to it, if I don’t talk, I feel frustrated, and if I leave it alone, I feel worried…
“I wonder if my child will grow up well?”


Puberty is not a strange 'disease', but a natural 'change'.

These days, the word 'middle school syndrome' is used so often that it feels like a trend.
It is a nickname that is given to children going through puberty, from the upper grades of elementary school to middle and high school.
It is treating adolescent children, who are emotionally unstable, rebellious for no reason, and like active volcanoes that could erupt at any moment, as if they were 'patients' suffering from a 'disease', separate from the general population.
And in the parents' minds, countless questions arise: "Why is this child, who was so obedient just a short time ago, suddenly acting like this? What did he do to deserve the constant "It's hard" and "It's annoying"? Is it okay for him to not study like that? Aren't we ruining our children if we keep doing this?"
Puberty is a natural process that everyone goes through to grow from a child to an adult, and we forget that, and we suffer from worry and anxiety because we think that 'only my child' is different.
Besides, whenever I say something, he gets irritated and says I'm nagging, so I can't even talk, and if I just watch, I get so frustrated that I can't do anything about it.
My relationship with my child seems to be getting worse and worse.
My child's adolescence is so frustrating, gloomy, and difficult. How can I safely get through this dark and long tunnel?

“A child’s puberty is difficult.
You may think that the difficult childhood days were better, and there may be times when you hate your child so much that you wonder if he or she was really yours.
But don't be offended.
Don't be afraid.
And trust the child.
The child is currently progressing very well through normal developmental stages.
There are many times when children themselves are confused and show instability due to sudden and numerous changes, but parents say, 'It's okay.
“If you look at me with warm eyes and courage, saying, ‘I believe in you,’ you will soon become stable and strong.”
