Every boy goes through certain periods or stages on the path of growing up. One is more, the other less difficult (here we mean mainly for parents). But despite the fact that every boy has his own problems, in his early youth they are, for example, newly coined words, and everyone has their own life story, but most of them experience the same things as they grow up. And so that you don't think that you were some kind of exception. Apparently, there is something about the fact that they are all the same.
The era of the superhero
Boys absolutely love superheroes. Probably because then they still believe in supernatural abilities. And what's cuter than a child dressed in their comic book or movie idol who saves the world.
The era of big Lego bricks
There is no child who does not love Lego bricks. In addition, they are also highly approved by parents. They consider them to be smart toys - which also stimulate imagination and creativity, and today they are popular with them also because they are the only ones that can really distract the boy from (smart) screens and keep them engaged in playing for several hours. And so parents have at least some time for themselves.
Age of dinosaurs and/or pirates
Due to their difference, dinosaurs and pirates are an eternal theme. eternal boy toys. Prehistory and treasure. And they can roar a lot more.
Power Rangers era
No matter how pacifist you are, and no matter how much you swear you won't buy your kid a toy gun, you'll pretend he's stabbed you with a pretend sword or hit you with a laser gun while impersonating a TV character, such as . The Power Rangers.
The period of "pops"
There is also a period when boys feel obliged to point out every "pop". Then they find it funny. Well, some people never really outgrow that period.
The era of tiny Legos
The "double is irrelevant" phase is an important turning point. Now only the cubes that have as many pieces as possible count, and as a result they also cost a lot more euros. Just hope that there are not too many items in the catalog for Christmas or birthdays, otherwise you can forget about winter or summer holidays.
Bad word period
Boys are not immune to adult language, so they quickly learn that there are other, less childish terms for sensitive body parts. When they realize this, they embarrass their parents at every opportunity and regularly blurt out something inappropriate in society that would otherwise be attributed to someone behind the bar.
Period of the same type of clothing and footwear
Although every parent would like their boy to look like a box, you don't want to look like a mannequin. They fixate on one type of pants, one type of T-shirt, one type of shoes. And they develop the feeling that their parents are destroying their style and reputation with their choices. And then they say that only girls have wardrobe and appearance problems.
The period of the first facial hair
When the first facial hair starts growing, it's time for the first serious male conversation between father and son. Now the boy is turning into a man. Admittedly, there is still a long way to go, but you have to start somewhere. And shaving is a sign of masculinity, even if parents find it hard to admit that their child is no longer an innocent little being. Razor, then. No foam!
The era of deodorants and colognes
The only good thing about this period is that you know where the child is. Just follow Malizia's scent.

Shower period
During this period, parents must reserve minutes in the bathroom, as it becomes the boy's second home. And hot water, if you have a boiler, a luxury.
Headphone era
It is true that today most passers-by on the street have headphones in or on their ears, but there is a period during growing up when headphones are a must-have accessory at home as well. Like slippers. And if we could, we would also play during lunch and dinner. But then you have to report about school and other unpleasant things.
The period when everyone at home is totally miserable
It is best for parents not to worry too much about the boy's blunt statements and lack of interest during this phase. It's hard not to keep this in your heart, especially since the question "Where did I break it?" comes up, but sooner or later he will change his mind, refute this attitude, because every rebellion is revealed. Until then, he should be accompanied by music from headphones. Then he will listen to you again. Because he loves you anyway.
