[quote=baltimoreguy]NurtureShock is aimed more at parents of younger kids, but it is an excellent book with a chapter "The Science of Teen Rebellion." The big surprise from research is that objection to parental authority peaks around age 14 to 15, and that such resistance is slightly stronger at age 11 than 18. By the time the kids are 17 and 18, they have enough autonomy that they don't feel compelled to resist every single parental directive. But the younger kids are desperately trying to forge their own identity, even as they remain completely dependent on their parents. This desire for, but lack of, autonomy results in resentment toward parental authority.[/quote]
