Hello there, Dear Parent!

Do you know the most significant difference between a teen’s mind and a child’s mind is?

It is that your little kid used to copy and follow most of your instructions, but as a teenager, they tend to become rebellious.

It can be frustrating, but what most parents don’t realize is an important fact. Adolescence is the stage at where a child begins to develop his/her personality.

This is the phase which decides if the kid is going to develop a dark personality like narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism or a healthy, self-sufficient personality.

I can’t stress this enough that at this stage the upbringing & the parent’s role becomes too crucial in grooming the child’s personality.

All we have to do as parents is make controlled decisions. This might seem like a cake-walk, but it is extremely frustrating. But don’t you worry, we’re here to give you a few pointers while your child is transitioning from child to adult.

1. Freedom

Treat freedom like a license.

Freedom for teenagers is a tricky concept, isn’t it? You give away too much, you make a bad child…
