Apapachos must be accompanied by good words and advice so that your child feels confident.
AN EARLY CUDDLE CAN PREVENT TEENAGE PREGNANCIES
The psychologist specializing in Research and Statistics, Susana Báez Tlaxalo, pointed out that home-based parenting by parents to children can prevent teenage pregnancies.
He explained that hugs, caresses and kisses between parents and children are connections or skin ties, however, in the absence of them, adolescents look for them elsewhere.
In addition to bad sexual information, it often results in unwanted pregnancies at an early age. Or even worse, in human trafficking by criminals who hook teenagers through social networks.
EVERYDAY HUGS
“We must accustom our son to our presence since he is a baby, that the affection be part of the every day, because if you do not generate this skin bond, this union during childhood, in adolescence it will be very difficult to generate”, he claimed.
PREGNANCIES IN MEXICO
Mexico ranks first in adolescent pregnancies among the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
- Fertility rate of 77 births per thousand adolescents between 15 and 19 years of age.
- 340 thousand births a year.
Apapachos to adolescents must also be accompanied by good words and respect, “we have to accompany apapacho with good words, respect the adolescent, you have to see him as the potential adult, no rudeness, or disqualify him,” he added.
COMPLICATED ADOLESCENCE
Susana Báez explained that adolescence is the stage where many of the neurological functions break down to form others, “they are called critical periods, all sexual development comes, this requires a greater connection, but a greater connection needs more stimulation, is where we are losing in caring for our children and the need is there latent. ”
“Adolescents begin to relate and explore different sex, the so-called Tobi Club is broken, due to the lack of apapachos, loaded with hormones and without good sexual information, as teenage pregnancies come,” said the specialist.
MORE PHYSICAL CONTACT
In addition, he said, parents are forgetting the part of physical contact at home with adolescents and is further aggravated by the use of cell phones, “we are dehumanizing.”
«Because if we are going to eat, we are going to leave our cell phones, we are going to talk, we are going to hug each other for a while, it is not all day, the technology is not bad, but you have to know how to use it, not just Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp And YouTube on the internet, there are other applications that can help us or pages that can give us more sexual information, “he assured.
He stressed that it does not matter if the adolescent already has a partner, apapacho is necessary in all human beings. “The affection must always be, it does not matter that the adolescents have a partner, the hug or the kiss of the parents is something invaluable, they are different affection”.
You cannot achieve that connection with material things, what we need is contact with the skin.
