[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One day I was thinking “And this is why 18th century parents sent their teens off to apprentice with other people.”  Throughout human history, no one has really wanted to spend this much time with their teenagers.  Its unnatrual.  [/quote]

this is great[/quote]

It is also true. Anyone who knows a thing about child development in the teen years knows this and should understand it.[/quote]

And yet, no one can prove it with scientific citations.

You’re just blowing smoke out of your a**.[/quote]

How about you Google “teenage developmental stages” and find one source that [i]doesn’t[/i] talk about the very normal need for kids to establish social and emotional independence from their parents, or their very normal preference for friends/peers over their parents.[/quote]

The burden of proof is on those who blow smoke out of their a**es.[/quote]

No, laziass, it’s on you to educate yourself. Or do you not know how to do basic research before forming an opinion?[/quote]

Nope. Burden of proof is on you. If you make a claim that you can’t back up with proof, then you have no claim. Simple. 
Also love how you call the poster who called you out a lazy ass. Look in the mirror, please. And learn the rules of debate. [/quote]

I've sort of lost track of what exactly you scientific citation posters are asking for, but if it's support for the concept of teenage-parent conflict being totally normal and healthy, and not indicative of familial dysfunction, then here:

https://srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/cdep.12278

"Although conflicts between parents and children become more frequent and more intense during adolescence, these conflicts are also thought to be a means to negotiate relational changes. The short‐term dyadic processes that occur during conflict interactions are important in the development of parent–adolescent relationships. Parent–adolescent dyads with more emotional variability during conflict interactions tend to adapt effectively and reorganize their relationships in response to the developmental needs of adolescents. Thus, parent–adolescent conflicts are adaptive for relational development when parents and adolescents can switch flexibly between a range of positive and negative emotions."

It's a slow day at work... I'm sure I can find more. [/quote]
