How to manage When there are two "golden age" in one family

When talking about the word “golden age”, many people may think of the transition to the elderly, which is a common meaning. But nowadays, when talking about “golden age”, many people think of the behavior and emotions of young children that occurred during their lifetimes. Where is the house where the elders and the golden age children live together? Would be able to imagine the difference that is perfect and not suitable and how to manage the two ages to coexist smoothly. Let's start by understanding the state of these two ages.


The golden age of female adults Often in the mean age range of 45-55 years, which enters menopause. The ovaries stop making hormones called estrogen and progesterone. If the menstrual period is missing for 1 year, it means that the ovaries have stopped working and have entered the menopause completely. The emotional state caused by hormonal changes affects many people's lifestyles. It is known that menopausal women experience hot flashes, profuse sweating, increased heart rate, and some cases palpitations can occur day and night. It can cause insomnia, waking up in the middle of the night, resulting in fatigue, irritability and irritability. some people are depressed or are at risk of Alzheimer's


Adult males also have their menopause period. The male sex hormone testosterone begins to decline from the age of about 40 years old, affecting the fat burning system. muscle building bone strength including the reproductive system. The symptom of menopause in men are not as obvious as women. But there are emotional states that show sadness and lack of brightness as well.


In one family, there may be elders who are golden age, whether they are grandparents, grandmothers, aunts, or parents. When we know the emotional state of this age, we will understand the behavior of expressions that in the past we may have become irritable which is often caused by inattention. If we respond with frustration, it will undermine the minds of both parties. When adults in their menopause use emotions and we're starting to want to retaliate, please calm down, step back and think about what he wants What can we do for him?

It has arrived at some young golden age. We often hear the word "Golden Age Two" (Terrible Two) often. In fact, this condition may start forming at a younger age. But during the two years old, behaviors in the golden age are often seen very prominently, such as resisting, resisting, holding things, throwing things, screaming, yelling, etc. These symptoms are not abnormal. and will disappear with age. The cause of menopause in children is due to the change in body, thinking, language, and social adaptation. If it's about brain development, the part of the brain that controls emotions in children ages 2-4 grows faster than the part of the brain that controls reason. When the child begins to grow have more self-esteem, feelings, needs but still unable to communicate will be expressed with various behaviors that adults see as unlovable, such as throwing things, screaming loudly to get attention but if you don't like. The expression could be multiplied. which if adults are ignorant and unable to control their emotions It will end with scolding and punishing with violence.

 

Coping with a golden age child is important because if we use force and use harsh words against a child He will absorb those behaviors and apply them to the people around him in the future. How to cope, we must first understand that children act like this because of their age. which adults need to reason with him Even if he shows that he doesn't listen or is stubborn Patience and patience are required. Absolutely not using force Always pay attention to what the child does that irritates him. We must try to divert him from that, offer something else to do, show help or offer an option to make the child feel that he still has some power, such as a kid grabbing an orange to play with. We might say to deviate that Mom has a lot of balls here. Do you want to help mom put it in the basket? What color would you like to keep first? And what color would you like your mom to help you pick?

 

It's good to have a golden age in the family. Adults feel valued when they take care of children. Children themselves are loved and learn to live with others. However, inconsistency can occur as well. First of all, adults have to accept that the golden age behavior of a child is part of his development. We don't tell adults to indulge. But if adults understand and deal with their own emotions and children's emotions appropriately. Various situations will pass well. Oftentimes, older adults become frustrated with the temperament of children. Or get frustrated when being blamed for not being able to do that to a child. You can't say this to a child. until the feeling of displeasure and accumulate as stress Many adults have never practiced dealing with unloving behavior of children before. If you are the person who understands the state of children the most in the family. You should make an example what to say, how to use tone. The golden age adults will gradually Learn from each situation with you.

 

Importantly, the middleman must use reason to inform the golden age adults with impartiality, not emotion, and understand that we know he is tired We know the little boy annoyed him. We are grateful to help take care of the little ones. We are enduring the unlovely with equanimity and reasoning together. “When he grows through this period he'll be back to be our cute boy.” only when adults use reason don't use harsh words or violence with him)

 

It seems that most of the advice is telling both middle-aged adults and seniors to try to adapt more to their golden years. That's because we are more restrained before doing anything than children. And if you are the middleman in family, don't feel exhausted at compromising on both ages. Even in practice, it may feel difficult or embarrassing at first. But today you understand how to talk and deal with them. We hope that every family will go through the golden age crisis smoothly.
