The birthday takes place every year. But somehow it is customary to celebrate the most significant dates, one of them is 14 years old, when teenagers receive a passport and become almost adults. I would like to celebrate this day especially, because a passport is received only once in a lifetime.
Fourteen is a transitional age. Hormones are raging in your child. At this age, adolescents are no longer children, but they are not yet independent adults. But right now they are trying with all their might to show their adulthood. So with the choice of scenario, place, menu and other attributes of the holiday, it will be quite difficult to please.
Birthday script
At the age of 14, teenagers consider themselves to be adults, and their parents - old people. No need to invite clowns and magicians to the holiday. All this seems to adolescents to be childish babble, which is not worthy of the attention of an "adult".
Your child's birthday party will be his friends, most often from his class or additional section. At this age, it is very important to make the right impression on your friends. To please a teenager with an entertainment program means to please his friends. The more enthusiastic exclamations and glances there are, the more satisfied your child will be with his holiday.
He knows better what the company is interested in. Therefore, composing the script of the holiday, it is necessary to ask the birthday person himself what exactly he wants to see and hear at his celebration.
Celebration place
The place where the holiday will be held is of great importance. The festive program depends on the choice of place. The first place that suggests itself is home. Only for sure your child will not want to celebrate an important date at home under your strict supervision.
If funds permit, then you can send teenagers to the entertainment center. Any such center has a cafe. You can rent it for a couple of hours to satisfy the kids' hunger. Or you can just negotiate with the cafe administrator so that they order whatever they want. Then you just pay the bill.
You can send children to the water park or rollerdrome, bowling or tennis court. It all depends on what your child's company is passionate about.
If a child's birthday happened in the summer, then a great place to celebrate is the bank of a river, lake or even the sea, depending on where you live.
In nature, you can arrange a whole adventure for children. Choose a picnic spot in advance. Prepare various obstacles in the form of fallen logs and rope bridges around. Set landmarks. They can be these obstacles, marks on trees, terrain features. Make a map of this very area with landmarks. And in place X "bury" the treasure. Your gift can serve as a treasure. An adventure like this will appeal to any teenager.
Holiday menu
The menu depends on the place and scenario of the holiday. In a cafe, this can be french fries, hamburgers, light salads, chips and other fast food. If a holiday takes place in nature, then it will definitely be kebabs, the same salads, perhaps chips. A holiday at home involves the availability of snacks, hot meals, sweets.
Wherever the party takes place, let your child choose the range of dishes himself. It is best not to overload children's stomachs with plentiful food. Serve sandwiches and canapes, portioned cakes and sweets. The cake should be for the birthday boy to blow out the candles, but not too fatty and high-calorie. Best served with yoghurt dessert.
Parents must decide for themselves about alcohol. Each family has its own rules, and the question is quite delicate. If teenagers decide to try alcohol, they will not be stopped by your ban. Therefore, you need to talk to the birthday boy and the parents of friends.
