Hello friends of the community of steemit I am @escobar663 and today I wanted to share this post about children who leave their homes without having any idea what awaits them in the streets.

Children and adolescents leave their homes for multiple reasons. For some, their homes become places that are not safe or stable, others complain of abuse, inadequate management of authority, high levels of violence, ridicule for their opinions or ideas, lack of recognition of their achievements and because they criticize everything what they do. In addition, they have conflicts with their parents' partners, emotional deficiencies and poor communication, so that relations between parents and children are in permanent crisis.

They decide to leave home because they are under pressure and carry family secrets that subject them to a state of confusion, between love, anger, sadness or revenge. They prefer to avoid the confrontations that provoke ruptures and conflicts, trying many times to want to maintain balance, as long as they are not guilty of the separation of father and mother.

Threats from the external environment further aggravate their condition by exposing themselves to risk factors such as the influence of people who lead them astray. In general, they leave school and integrate into the homes of families with chronic social problems, where power, control, delinquency and exploitation prevail. This puts children and adolescents in danger, but for them they are places where they accept them, without questioning them so much, and offer them an open-door welcome.

It is important that the family be a facilitator and trainer in the lives of the children. We must eliminate that common phrase: "Here is what I say, period." Being a model and guide means that profound changes have to be made, to transmit values ​​of respect, fidelity, honesty, fulfillment of commitments, responsibility, collaboration and punctuality; with healthy habits that positively impact decision-making in times of crisis.

The family must be the main protective factor, preventing any attempt to leave the home. This is avoided by opening to dialogue and approach, without the first reaction is to judge and condemn.

There are parenting styles that are healthy, such as the democratic, because it creates trust, uses moderate methods, allows an atmosphere of reflection, recognition of the effort made, and promotes social skills, spaces of success and personal achievements.

In contrast, authoritarian parenting styles are rigid, over-controlled, and foster fears and insecurities.

The other extreme are the permissive ones, which say: "Do what you want, you are my cute child", and the negligent style, in which there is no supervision, because the parents are absent from family activities. These are the most fragile.

Group pressure exerts more control over the negative, so that the individual thinks that their problems will be resolved with the promises of people who have achieved stability, assets and riches without much effort. Children and adolescents, they ask to live with their families, but in an environment that protects them, it gives them security, attention and love.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post and do not forget to follow me to see more content like this. good luck...
