How to understand teenagers
Respect their needs
Respecting the needs of adolescents is important to understanding adolescents, by: [1]
Give teens some freedom: Giving teenagers some freedom and supporting their independence is very important. For example, allowing young teens to choose their room design, hair styles, and adult teens driving.
Accept their social life: At this stage, the affluent focus on social relations and want to spend more time with their friends rather than their families.
Talk to them frankly: Talking to teenagers about what to do and what should not be done helps them understand the responsibilities they have.
Respect for privacy: Adolescents need privacy to increase their independence. They do not ignore family members, but need some time of their own or their friends.
Let them learn from their mistakes: adolescents prefer to learn from their own experiences, despite all the alerts the parents give.
Adapting to their sleeping habits: Adolescents prefer to sleep at night and sleep until late the next morning, but they can be encouraged to sleep healthy habits, because not getting enough sleep affects their concentration and temperament.
Communicate with them

Understand their actions
Dealing with some teenagers is difficult, but you have to understand their aggressive behavior and try to find out why they are angry. This will help alleviate problems. You can ask for help from a school counselor or mentor or outside school. It is helpful to understand and observe the school's teachers. Adolescents should be aware of the reasons for their aggression and determine who needs guidance. Depression may be responsible for the aggressive behavior of a teenager . If there is no reason for their aggression, it is important to consult a specialist, pay attention to their behavior and help them. [3]

Very good points and ideas, I've used some of these with my younger children.
Thank you for your admiration. Good luck with your children
Coming from a family who was quite strict, I couldn't agree more. Kids need some space within reason though. I'm glad in some aspects that I had the childhood I did, as I respect things a lot more. I was always taught look after your things well look after other people's things better then your own. I was always taught you don't just get things handed to you, and if you want something you will need to work hard to get it. I know it would never be easy to raise children and each child requires different requirements through out their childhood. I take my hate
off to all the parents out there.
Thanks for the kind suggestions and insights too. I hope this article will help many in their journey through life along with teenagers. Well done, namaste :)
Thank you for your words. We hope to be in good faith

Always embarrass your teenager in front of their friends. They say they hate it, but I think secretly they appreciate it.
How hard can it be?

This is a never ending cycle that every generation has to face to bring up teens. Lately the pace of teen intelligence has gone up crazy and that is where the parents are finding it tough to handle.
Very good point !
What if im a teenager? : )
This is so precise, this actually works.
Very impressive article!! I have a 16 year old and I have to keep reminding myself that I was once 16 years old. Haha You have truly made me step back and remember how I wanted to be treated at that age. Thank you!!
