[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are younger, so this is a sincere question, not a judgmental one. Aren’t teens supposed to rebel? Isn’t it part of growing up and gaining independence? I know we won’t like it, I know it means risky behavior, but isn’t it part of the process? We lied to our parents, we snuck out sometimes. And I was a “good” kid! I do think at 17 it’s important to give a little more leeway. But my oldest is 12, so I’m not there yet...I may be eating my words in 2025...[/quote] NP I do have older kids and I don't think you should just "accept it" because not every kid rebels and not every kid lies and breaks rules to gain independence. If you expect it, than yes but, don't go into it thinking "this is normal" because you can raise teens to independent without them going off the rails. [/quote]
