We had a good laugh this week about a survey out of London. Parents were surveyed and they said the toughest age for parents to deal with their kids is when they are 14. That's 14 for girls, 15 for boys.
The reason given was because they are trying to stretch the limits and they are in so much of a rush to be grown up, in their fashion and their freedom.
I would agree. I would also like to point out the need to BE THERE for your teen. It is such a tough age and I think it's even worse than when we were teenagers. BE THERE. Know what they are doing and who they are talking to. Listen to their music. Check out their television shows.
They may not like it, but having no contact with them is dangerous. I would rather be a pain for them and help them through these years, than leave it all up to chance.
