Festival: can you go or stay?

The festival may be for everyone, but some young people are now reaching the age when they no longer just need to be away from their parents and party, but want to leave. Sooner or later they are on the road to becoming independent and one of the things that they do is go out to have fun. During the festival, young people feel an unquestionable desire to attend such events, which can be difficult for parents.

Young people should be allowed to make their own decisions, but the dangers of an inexperienced, naive young person can be what a festival can hold. While adolescents see cloudless fun in this, for the parents, festivals are the equivalent of constant worry. The dilemma is whether or not to let the children go at all? Excessive rigor after a certain age, not parenting, is a barrier for the child. In fact, the young person may even feel distrust of his parents. Therefore, it is worth sitting down with your child and discussing the possibility of a festival. Excessive control is difficult for the children to bear, but there are also many questions that may arise in the case of a child who is relentlessly released to a multi-day event: Are your parents not so concerned about where they are going? No matter what he does, his parents don't care about it anyway?

Summer is not only a holiday but also a fun time. There are dozens of programs for all ages, and after school, during the long summer break, many young people turn off and throw themselves into the party. provided parents allow it. If not, World War II will erupt at home, and teens may be in the mood to break the rules. And there is a strong desire for the first festival. And the biggest question for parents is whether or not to let their child go.

What is a never-ending party for young people, for parents it is more a matter of doubt, worry, excitement. This is what sets the tension, but we cannot always keep our children under our wings. If we decide to let our adolescents down for a festival, we have to sit down to talk about them. Not all parents are aware of what such an event is like, so you can ask about it and stay informed about it, the Internet. You can find out useful things like what's worth and what's not worth packing in your backpack. It should be clarified what to do in the event of a problem. Using a smartphone is a big help in this, but it can get lost and steal the youngster, so you also need to be prepared for who to turn to if you get into more trouble.

Sleeping in a tent is a challenge during the multi-day festival, but you have to stand in the tent to pull yourself in, so it is worth practicing at home how to set up your tent.

Alcohol consumption is likely to be part of the festival for young people in the same way, but no matter how much or what they drink. Alcoholic beverages offered by open bottles shall not be accepted. Let it be one of the basic rules. It does not hurt to have cash in a hidden location.

If you have been trying to get to a festival since your young years, but always hit the walls built by your parents, it won't be good. Helping love, conversation, and trust are what we need to show our children at this time, as they are the first steps in separation from a parent.
