7. If I have committed any offense, we should not demand from me that I explained to you why I did it. To give you an answer - a very difficult and sometimes impossible task at all, because very often I do not know what I'm doing anyway - it is a normal feature of child psychology.

16. Mom and Dad! Do not manipulate the words of love! You should not tell me that you love me, and immediately ask about something. Thus, you are giving me to understand that love - it's a kind of bargaining chip. As a result, I start to bargain with you. And believe me - the winner will stay definitely not you.
17. It is not necessary to treat my mistakes and misdemeanors as if I had committed a terrible sin. I am the same person as you are. Just another little while.

As a result, I will be afraid to do anything at all, not to be mistaken.
18. And never, Mom and Dad do not protect me from consequences of my own mistakes. After all, I just like you, learn from my mistakes. And do not forget that I really love to try new things and experiment - the only way I can understand the world. You will have to put up with it.

When I feel strong emotions: resentment, pain, fear, anger - I have very bad I perceive any attempt to talk to me. Your words are quite simply not achieved its goal. It is much wiser to simply stop my unwanted behavior. But talk to me better to postpone to a later time when you calm down, I do.
20. Do not make me comments, and especially not scold me in front of strangers people. Such a course of conduct will cause only the strong reaction of protest. Your words will conceive a much greater effect if you talk to me in a more relaxed atmosphere and, most importantly, eye to eye.
21. More often praise me - after my successful development is impossible without your approval and understanding. But do not just praise me so unfairly - any praise must be earned.
22. For me it is very important to know that I was born to love and understanding parents. Believe me, even if I was too small, and something I do not understand, I still feel in my family when something unfavorable. Do not swear in front of me, please!
23. I will not complain to you if I note that my brother or setrёnke you pay more attention and, as it seems in my opinion, love. I'm simply going to attack and hurt the one who gets your love. I'm not doing this to annoy you. Just so I'm trying to restore justice.
24. As early as 6 - 7 years, I'm starting to take an interest in the opposite sex. You should not pretend that you do not notice my questions and give me false information. If you can not answer my questions, friends and older comrades quickly explained to me that I have not found in the cabbage or stork brought. And believe me, this can be done in a way that you just do not like it. You can tell me about the relationship between the sexes in a clear and accessible form for my age.
25. Do not hide from me their experiences and feelings. Of course, because of their age, I can not understand everything that happens to you. And, frankly, excessive frankness can only hurt my psyche. However, do not smile and say that all is well, if you feel bad. I still feel it.
26. Mom and Dad, do not worry about the fact that we spend too little time. For me more important it is not how much we are together, and how we spend that time. You can stay close for days and did not hear each other, and can be performed with only a few minutes a day, but to understand each other perfectly.
27. Do not use me as an argument to physical force. Of course, from the slap me nothing bad will happen. But good too - I can not come to the conclusion that the one who is stronger - always right. And this will lead to a huge number of problems in my life as a child and later.

And although at the time the opinion of friends is much more important for me yours, I desperately need your help, protection and support. Although, of course, I did not realize this and are trying to reject your help. At this time, it makes sense to show some firmness and insist on his own - later, when I grew up, I'll thank you for it.
29. Make friends with me, Mom and Dad! Of course, first of all you, my parents, but this should not prevent you from becoming my friends. So in my eyes, you will have a dual authority: both parents and friends.
