The trouble is that it’s too late trying to parent teens. Really, when they’re teens, you’re reliant on all the stuff you did before guiding them because their natural state is rebel. If you were kind, loving and firm but fair when they were smaller kids, you’ve got a good chance that they’ll be fine.
If you were over indulgent, excused their behaviour and also at the same time, negligent, of their basic needs, it’s too late. You’ve already showed them that you don’t care enough to discipline them.
anyone have a bad time with a teen kid. To have 4 run circles round you with their behaviour is your chickens coming home to roost.
