Yulia Lisitsyna, blog Men
Good afternoon. My name is Julia and for several years I have been blogging "little Men".
I'm a mother on a very long maternity leave and already can hardly imagine myself in the bosom of the office. I was lucky enough to give birth to two wonderful children: a boy and a girl. Alexander is already 14 and he is the idol of his younger sister Xenia, who is almost 5. Like to watch their conversation tete-a-tete: becoming a responsible and caring brother, and chilopoda girl, confident in his defender.
Alla: what difficulties did you face and what age of children became "transitional"for you? How do you solve these problems?
Julia: lately I have been thinking more and more often: "is there a transition age at all?"There is a movement up the stairs and each new step — a new leap in the development of physical and emotional. The conflict turns out when there is no time to stop and see a situation in faces, to try on it and to look at itself from outside.
In other cases, it turns out to pick up words, start a conversation, try to convey thoughts and examples, feel the driving force of the son, remember yourself at this age (a very effective tool). Conflict either recedes under the onslaught of mutual understanding or gives both food for further thought.
Alla: what resources (books, movies, websites, etc.) can you advise other parents of growing children?
Julia: Maybe my words seem creepy — creepy, but I read nothing at all: Spock sensational, the book is a Soviet author about the life of a child from one to seven (can't remember the name), "How to talk so children listen and Listen so children talk" Faber and Mazlish, and Janusz Korczak "How to love a child." Basically read what has attracted attention in the network and our wonderful mothers: Anna Braslavsky and Dan Bar.
I like movies: "we will Live till Monday", " You did not dream»…
Of fiction: Bradbury, Strugatsky. For me, these are books about everything at once: universal values, relationships, the style of writing, the beauty of the paintings recreated on the pages…
Alla: If you had a time machine at your disposal, how many years ago would you like to go back and change what? Or do not want to change anything?
Julia: I'm not inclined to fly into the past at all. Treat it as an invaluable experience, without which I wouldn't be me. Will gladly remove myself the degree of impulsivity. 🙂 But it's beyond time 🙂

Alla: do you Write in your blog about teenage children? Why do you think most mom blogs are dedicated to babies, and older parents, as a rule, do not tell?
Julia: I write about Alexander, but very little: some amazing facts, his victories, our decisions of controversial issues, his manifestations of care and tenderness. For me, he is an adult, independent person, and write another adult I can only the above facts and with permission.
The biggest work goes in my subconscious, and I, by nature, do not like to spread intermediate solutions. If something happened to convey, motivate him, learn new things from his son, I will certainly tell. Why hide the ways that can benefit someone, suggest a way to resolve your situation?
While I was writing about my son, I realized that I was doing the same with my daughter. I write about our ideas in creativity, travel, books... I do not write articles on the topic: "What to do, she does not want to learn letters, add numbers." I write about what I came up with and how interested my daughter. I like to share productive information. And the eternal question :" what to do?"leave us with my husband and the skull.
