The problem of fathers and children has always worried parents, but this issue is especially acute during adolescence. At this time, as you know, there is a change of authority; the opinion of not mom and dad, but friends and peers, is important for the child.
Another problem is a different view of the adolescent himself: while he considers himself to be an independent adult, for the parents he is still a child who needs to be controlled and protected.
In order to get along with a teenager, an adult needs to show understanding and patience. It is important to realize that a teenager is already a more or less independent person who is able to make decisions and be responsible for his actions. This does not mean that he should be indulged in everything and given complete freedom of choice. In this case, tolerance should be shown, however, within reasonable limits.
It is also worth showing more interest in the events taking place in the life of a teenager. However, this does not mean that you need to be intrusive, it is enough just to show that the child is not alone and it is important for the parents to take part in his life.
For every person in life, their own experience is very important. You should not control the teenager in everything, you need to allow him to make his own mistakes and learn from them. Situations are different, and no one knows how the parent himself would act in this case.
A teenager is no longer a child, but not yet an adult, so it should be borne in mind that in any case he needs support and protection from the people closest to him.
