“Are you going on holiday with a child and want to relax? Choose one: either a holiday with a child or rest” – there is no shortage of this type of entries on social media. It turns out, however, that for some people a big challenge is not only going on holiday with a small child, but also with a teenager during a period of rebellion. One of the readers of the Onet portal shared this type of story with the editorial office.
A vacation with a teenage son turned into a nightmare
The period of a child’s teenage rebellion is not easy for many parents. Then the storm of hormones and the feeling of mutual misunderstanding can lead to numerous conflicts and difficulties in communication. Joanna found herself in a similar situation and described her story to Onet. Together with her husband and son, she decided to go on holiday abroad to spend more time together. – We thought that going away with our son would allow us to rebuild our bonds, give us time to talk and get closer to each other. Nothing like that happened, now My husband and I regret taking him on vacation. He ruined our entire stay and we felt ashamed, writes Joanna.
Rebellion and wasted holidays
According to Joanna, her teenage son behaved terribly during their holidays. Problems with mutual understanding began much earlier, but the woman hoped that a joint trip would help rebuild damaged family ties and would be an opportunity to talk to each other as a family. However, this did not happen. – Unfortunately, my son spent the entire 10 days in the room with the phone and headphones on. He only went out for meals, he growled at us, we were ashamed in front of other people. He left us alone at the table and never went anywhere with us, admits Joanna. – He wasted our vacation, I don’t even want to mention the money. He won’t come with us again if he has this attitude towards us. I regret that we spent the holiday with him.
Teenage rebellion is needed
Although teenage rebellion may be a difficult time for many parents, psychologists say that it is a natural phase in the life of every child – how a person goes through it is an individual matter. – Teenage rebellion is needed to distinguish yourself as a separate person who thinks in his own way, feels in his own way, has his own hierarchy of values and goals and wants to live on his own terms – says psychotherapist Wojciech Eichelberger with the monthly Zwierciadło. – Growing up is not a disease, an anomaly, or a malicious act child. This is a difficult but necessary stage in its development process. A painful stage also for parents […].
