A psychologist from KFU explained to parents how not to lose a teenager's trust.

      According to Galanina, work with young people should begin long before they start their own families. At a press conference in "Tatar-inform," Olga Galanina, a leading expert at "Rosdetcenter," a pedagogical psychologist, and a lecturer at KFU, spoke about why many parents lose contact with their children and how to avoid this. According to Galanina, work with young people should begin long before they start their own families. One of the main mistakes adults make is leaning too much towards strict control. When parents exert too much pressure and constantly criticize, the child stops sharing their feelings. Instead of discussing fears and doubts, the teenager withdraws into themselves. The psychologist explained what a teenager actually needs for normal development: recognition among peers, the opportunity to assert themselves, and trust from loved ones. Without this, any interest quickly fades away. Galanina provided a simple example. Even if a child does not like sweets, if given a choice between two options, they will still choose something. And they will start to try. It is at this moment that interest appears. The parent's task is to notice this in time, reinforce it, and build trusting relationships on this basis. The best way to interact, according to the psychologist, is mentorship. This is not control or lectures, but support and advice. A mentor is someone the child will turn to in a difficult situation. Without trust, any educational techniques will not work. First contact, then everything else. Otherwise, the teenager will simply withdraw into themselves, and it will be very difficult to reach them.
