Everything seems fine until the child is a certain years old. When he or she reaches her teens all hell breaks out. What happens exactly? Is it the parents' fault or is it the child's? Can it be called their fault even? Is it wise to pin point it on someone? If it was in some households, this can be put down to the individuals' characters, but that does not seem to be the case. Almost every household starts facing problems when their respective children enter into their teens.
This can be the teen's fault, in that they suddenly start feeling all grown up and refuse to listen to a word the parents says, but is that really their fault? Are parents being too restrictive? Parents find it hard to give up on the control they had on their children. That is an undeniable truth. People might try to hide this fact, but this is what everything boils down to.
When their child starts having independent thoughts, they freak out. This happens because they care a lot for them, granted, but is it wise to restrict them too much? That is one side of the debate. The other is that the teens' mentality is totally changed in those few months time (transition from 12 to 13) that they completely refuse to listen to anything their parents say. Hormones play a major role in their life, and anything restrictive to their fun is a nuisance, including a parent's kind warnings about the hard facts of life.
I can go on and on about this and a single blog post is hardly going to be able to cover everything. Let’s look into some intricacies of this matter and what exactly happens in the next post.
