The child became a teenager. His “I want” has become more expensive and promising. I will give an example of a dialogue with a 14-year-old teenager. Confidentiality is maintained. - Do you have a goal? What do you want to do after school? - I want to open my own business. - Why? - To have money. - Do you already know what you will do? - Yes. I chose a business.- What do you need to open it right after graduation?- Money.- How much?- I don’t know.- Where will you get it?- I’ll come up with something.- It’s good to come up with. There are still 4 years until graduation. Maybe you can now start preparing to open a business and come up with something? A business will not appear instantly, it must be built. - I can save money now. 100 rubles from pocket money. Next, together with a calculator, they calculated that saving 100 rubles from pocket money every day, excluding summer holidays, will accumulate 108,000 rubles in 4 years. The teenager was impressed by this amount. - Can you stand it and do this? - Yes ! - he says firmly. Looking ahead, I’ll say that a week later he said with embarrassment: “It didn’t work out every day. But next week I’ll save more!” - What qualities, skills and abilities do you need for your business to become successful? “let’s think about it,” I suggest to the teenager. Then we talk about it. “Discipline, the ability to negotiate, communicate, not be offended, remain neutral, develop the brain, manage emotions, promise and fulfill,” the teenager concluded. “Which of the above do you have?” What are you doing? “It’s working out a little,” the teenager said sadly. “Who and how can help you with this?” “Father, he has his own business.” But he is stern and taciturn. - Maybe he doesn’t know about the seriousness of your intentions? - I’m afraid to tell him, he might laugh. - You’ll find out if you laugh or not laugh when you talk. Do you agree? - Yes. - It’s the same in business. It is impossible to guess what a client or partner will think. To do this, you need to talk to him. This is a skill you can learn now. In feedback from my mother, we agreed that she would give her son a chance to talk to his father. It is important not to devalue the child’s desire to fulfill his plans. The teenager did not dare to talk to his father, to tell him about his goal. And this is an alarming signal for parents. illustrations and covers were created using the ru-Dall-e neural network© All rights reserved.
