In the teenage years, the relationship between parents and children is constantly changing as the kids move toward independence. Teenage years are a period of transition, when middle-school kids move from one teacher and one classroom to a different teacher for each subject. In this age they are moody and irritable.

This is a time when parents and kids argue a lot. A bit later, during the first three years of high school, teens are increasingly on their own. Very often their lives revolve around school and their friends. They have a healthy sense of their personality. They begin to develop a unique sense of identity as well as their own values and beliefs. For parents, the danger in this time would be to try to force them to be something a parent wants them to be, rather than help them be who they are. Their relationships may change significantly as their interests change; almost three quarters of the closest friends named by teens weren’t even mentioned during students’ years.

Psychologists say parents need to share with their children what they really believe in, what they really think is important. These basic moral values are more important than maths skills or results of the exams. So, parents and their children should try to use any opportunity to talk — in the car, over the breakfast table, watching TV. Understanding is the greatest of the family values.
