Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world. It’s often a challenge, which we feel incapable of dealing with. Arguments between parents and their teenage kids are so common that we’ve stopped paying attention. However, putting ourselves in our children’s shoes could solve a lot of these problems.



Teenagers need to have arguments and fight about subjects as tedious as homework, curfew, friends, or relationships. In fact, they are in a constant fight to discover who they are. They also need their parents to work with them during the process without giving up. Sometimes, they need to hate each other a little, but what really helps is knowing that those feelings for both parties are always temporary.



If a teenager could, they would tell us that the constant fighting with their parents is what teaches them to be strong and independent, and how to deal with change in life. All they need is for us to always be on their side, even though they won’t thank us for it during this phase.



We shouldn’t forget that when this all ends, they’ll need us more than ever. The important thing is for us to never forget that we’re their parents, not their friends. So all the anger at not letting them go out or hassling them to clean their room will one day turn into beautiful gratitude. All we have to do is try to manage this stage as calmly as possible and listen to our kids, because they also have a voice.
