YOUR child wants to be treated as an adult!

January 22, 2021 by Linda Patterson 45 Comments

Spread the love

YOUR child wants to be treated as an adult! Maturity – YOUR child wants to be treated as an adult – know what it means! Maturity is as individual as each of us is unique. Age has nothing to do with maturity. Some young people are very mature and some older people are very immature. Below are 25 signs of maturity – there are plenty of others I am sure.

  1. Realizing how much you do not know

  2. Listening more and talking less.

  3. Being aware and considerate of others

  4. Not taking everything personally

  5. Being grateful and gracious

  6. Taking responsibility

  7. Forgiveness and compassion

  8. Being calm and peaceful

  9. Showing flexibility

  10. Helping yourself

  11. Respecting another’s point of view

  12. Sharing your good fortune

  13. Think before acting or speaking

  14. Encouraging and being supportive of others

  15. Finding joy in the success of someone else

  16. Knowing there is always room to grow and improve

  17. Having humility and laughing at yourself

  18. Passing up instant gratification in favor of long-term benefits

  19. Accepting, liking, and loving yourself, not needing someone else to “complete” you.

  20. Standing up for fairness and justice for yourself and others

YOUR child’s brain will be changing from a child’s brain to an adult brain. That does not happen overnight and will not happen if they cannot see what “Maturity” looks like.

Maturity can look like the following also:

Keep long-term commitments

Unshaken by flattery or criticism

Possesses a spirit of humility

Decisions are based on values – not emotions

Their character is master of their emotions

Knows how to prioritize

Maturity is a big category, one that obscures with its size.

There have been researching at several universities about maturity for elementary students and it still remains unclear.

YOUR child wants to be treated as an adult!

YOU the parent has to be the leader here-reading and being mature yourself so that you will know how mature your child is. In today’s world elementary school age children are around very mature items that they are not emotionally mature enough to take on. They will need to have their boundaries very well defined and that will be YOUR job in this area.

Know what:

TV they watch

If they are mature enough for a personal iPhone

Play computer games

Knowing their limit and follow through on those limits.

Spending as much time as possible with YOUR child gives you the best ability to know how mature they are becoming to handle any given situation.

My grandson has always know what TV he can and cannot watch. And how to act and behave. His Mother and Step-Dad have been wonderful role models for him and have guided him along the way. I am very grateful to his wonderful parents.

Your Child and Decision-Making.
