[quote=Anonymous]Highly dependent on each kid. Also high dependent on the parent and their parenting style. The teen years aren’t necessarily more difficult than the baby or toddler years, they just require a different approach. And as a PP mentioned, not all teen problems are easily solvable. If your a person/parent that has been avoiding or dreading key topics (sex, drugs, alcohol, identity, relationships, etc), well you’re going to be in for a rude awakening. if your a helicopter parent, you’re feelings are likely going to be bruised by your teen, their friends, and teachers or are no longer fond of your constant hovering. If you lack patience, well, it may be tested. I’ve loved watching kids grow as teens and blossom into more of themselves. That’s not to say it been without moments of strife, but no age is. But then again, I’ve always appreciated and enjoyed every age/stage of my kids and never longed to go back to the early years.[/quote]
