Предпочитат да наблягат на дисциплината и избягват нежността, която излишно разглезва детето. Тогава защо много деца днес не се чувстват напълно обичани и приети от родителите си, защо се възприемат по-скоро като досадна пречка в живота на възрастните?

"Помощ! Точно когато започнах да свиквам с родителството, детето ми стана тийнейджър!"Тийнейджърите са деца в преход. Те не са възрастни. Техните нужди, включително емоционалните, са все още детски. Една от най-честите грешки, която родители, учители и други допускат, е да се отнасят към тийнейджърите почти като към възрастни хора. Така пренебрегват тяхната детска нужда да чувстват, че някой ги обича и приема, че някой се грижи и мисли за тях. В резултат много тийнейджъри смятат, че никой не се интересува истински от тях, чувстват се непълноценни и объркани, проявяват агресивност и непокорство. Макар повечето ... |

Lawrence's finest, most mature novel initially met with disgust and incomprehension. In the love affairs of two sisters, Ursula with Rupert, and Gudrun with Gerald, critics could only see a sorry tale of sexual depravity and philosophical obscurity. "Women in Love" is, however, a profound response to a whole cultural crisis. The "progress" of the modern industrialised world had led to the carnage of the First World War. What, then, did it mean to call ourselves "human"? On what grounds could we place ourselves above and beyond the animal world? What are the definitive forms of our ... |
