Question

My child is 13 years old and has a quick temper and is easily angered. Communication is difficult, and when they make mistakes, they don’t admit them but instead repeat their own reasons. What is going on?

Answer

Adolescents are particularly insistent on their ownership, so I suggest parents be more democratic with their children, not forceful, and discuss matters with them to allow them to feel respected and acknowledged, so that they can accept the parents’ opinions. Parents should maintain a calm attitude and be patient in guiding them.
