A friend of yours has a child who is about to enter her teenage years. She shares with you that she worries about how their relationship is going to change. "I know that most teenagers have a mighty struggle during adolescence, and I'm sure she's going to just hate me!" Provide advice to your friend by describing the reality of this time of child-parent interactions
What will be an ideal response?
The text describes the notion of "storm and stress" as being vastly overstated. Evidence to support a more positive view of teens includes the fact that most teens admire/love their parents and rely on them for advice, embracing their parents' values. In addition, most teens have relatively high levels of self-esteem across a variety of domains.
Students may also describe how teenagers' relationships with their parents do change, including an increase of independence and autonomy for the adolescent, a shift to a more egalitarian relationship, and a recognition that there may be fewer outward expressions of affection. Parents should also expect to spend less time with their adolescents during these years, as time spent with peers increases.
