Understanding Teen Independence and Parental Ego

Parenting becomes challenging as children grow and develop their own thinking and start experiencing their own moods and reactions.

It takes love and understanding, and not taking things personally, to help children bring out the best in themselves, and learn to use their feelings as barometers to their moods, and see not to take negative thinking seriously. Parents are their models.
