Good and interesting story. I agree that the education of adolescents needs to be paid more attention than it seems. If we talk about physiology, first of all, a person becomes an adult matured person, this causes a lot of changes in the body, and the sensations are not always comfortable. At this time, the state of health often worsens, immunity decreases, hormonal status jumps, the load on internal organs increases, because the body grows. There is also neurophysiology – the teenager undergoes a rather serious brain restructuring, rejection of unnecessary connections that were not previously used, activation other connections. In a sense, we can say that during adolescence there are periods when the brain is in a “disassembled” state – it was disassembled and not yet assembled in a new way. Parenting is a very long and complicated process. Thanks you!

The struggle of parenting a teen is all too real. I know for myself my heart tears every time my teen pushes me away, even though I know this is what she is supposed to do. It is almost like dealing with a loss – the loss of their childhood that went faster than anticipated. Everything you shared in this article is a great reminder of the shifts we all have to make as our children grow into young adults. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
