As parents, one of the more difficult times of child rearing occurs when our children blossom into teenagers. Teenagers are maturing into young adults and want more freedoms and fewer rules they have to follow as they become more independent. As a result, it can being about some of the hardest disciplinary struggles parents have to face.
Many teens are prone to sulking, lying, arguing and rebelling when they want to do something that goes against established household rules. Other times they are acting out simply because they still want their parents’ attention, but are not getting it as much as they did previously.
These outbursts in bad behaviours can often leave parents wondering if they did something wrong or are not doing something they should. This has resulted in a number of myths evolving over the years and ending up on Facebook or some other social media website.
After all, it you read it on Facebook it must be true? Right? Not so fast. Much information on social media is not accurate or reflective of your own teenager. Each teen is different and the reasons for their bad behaviours can and do vary from one to another.
