Adolescence is considered one of the stages of increased stress for parents. The children are going through a difficult time, in which rebellion, nonconformity, the identity crisis multiply conflicts. The concern of parents for their children 's future, their education, the influence of his friends, who do not take alcohol, drugs, or misuse of sex, is added to generational conflict itself.
During adolescence, there is a rapid physical development as well as deep emotional changes, although they can be exciting, however they can also be confusing and uncomfortable for the teenager and their parents.

It is authoritarian parents who demand obedience to their authority and favor the use of punishment and discipline to control behaviors that are not considered correct. They are the parents of "because I said so" that do not facilitate dialogue in the family, uncommunicative and unloving. The children of these authoritarian parents are often little more timid and tenacious when pursuing goals. They act influenced by the reward or punishment he will receive his behavior. For example, they do not greet an adult because they want or want to express their affection, but because if they do not, they will be punished or recrimination. They have low self-esteem because they see themselves as responsible for their successes or failures. The lack of dialogue at home makes children often tend to be a little happy, unhappy, irritable and vulnerable to
In this current generation, relationships between parents and their children are undoubtedly strained. It is obvious as many artists today continue to come out with songs detailing their broken relationships with their families; also, it is even more apparent as shown on television in shows such as Teen Mom and Intervention. Rearing a child without excessive techniques, can be beneficial to both parent and child as little rebellion will most likely occur. The most crucial points to avoid this would be the alteration of the way parents view many teenagers today, education and friendship.
Leaders know that once a child is born and raised, they will have learned ways to act and react to different situations. Parents teach their children right from wrong and set an example for them. Once a child becomes a teenager and adult, they normally take after their parents influence. This can sometimes be a negative thing if the parents separated, fought constantly, or were addicts. If a person is raised in that environment, th...
Researches have concluded that “Authoritarian parenting styles generally lead to children who are obedient and proficient, but they rank lower in happiness, social competence and self-esteem” (Cherry)....
As parents we want our children to experience the joys of childhood. One’s child rearing choices are the most dominate factors in adolescents. Parents must control the outside influences interfering with their emotional and physical maturity.
Authoritarian-parents who are punitive and focus on gaining a child's obedience to parental demands rather than responding to the demands of the child.Authoritarian parenting styles give little to no options to a child. What the parent says goes. It is a rigid approach to raising children that may have been most effective in times of great famine or toil. It was used most commonly in large, traditional families in which the father was the patriarch, and everyone else was called to follow his command. Times have changed greatly since. Doctors see a problem with this approach in modern times,it creates a distance between parent and child in which the child doubts the parent's love for him. It is based on punishment, which can easily create anger.
In example, according to the Euro-Western view, adolescence is characterised by the interaction between the individual’s biological development and the demands requested by the industrial and post-industrial societies. Although adolescence is globally referred to as the period in life that groups individuals from 12 to 18 years, each individual’s development varies within different countries and cultures. According to the Euro-Western world, adolescence is a time in life that is characterised by experimentation, fun as well as personal growth that will later lead the individual to become a full adult. However, not every young individual experiences this positive and fun side of this life stage. In fact, adolescence is characterised by the hormonal changes that occur during puberty, which are argued to influence adolescents’ behaviour. Hall (cited in Drewery and Claiborne, 2010) argued that due to the effects caused by puberty, young individuals often experience tension, conflicts with their parents and peers, as well as critical mood changes. In line with Hall, Freud (cited in Drewery and Claiborne, 2010) argues that adolescence is a life stage in which it is hard to maintain a steady equilibrium. For these reasons, adolescence can still be considered a “problematic” stage in life, yet it is not necessary true that these conflicts are triggered by biological changes (Drewery and Claiborne,
Authoritarian parents, show very little acceptance, have very high expectations of their children and are extremely controlling. These parents are strict, and use a prohibitive and punishment method. According to a research done by Kimberly Kopko from Cornell University, it “reveals that adolescents of authoritarian parents learn that following parental rules and adherence to strict discipline is valued over independent behavior. As a result, adolescents may become rebellious or dependent” (2). The adolescents who come to be rebellious may showcase hostile behaviors, while those who are passive are likely to stay relying on their parents (2).
Adolescence is a transition which has no fixed time limits. However, the changes that occur at this time are so significant that it is useful to talk about adolescence as a distinct period of human life cycle. This period ranges from biological changes to changes in behavior and social status, thus making it difficult to specify its limits exactly (Damon, 2008). Adolescence begins with puberty, i.e. a series of physiological changes that lead to full development of the sexual organs and the ability to breed and sex. The time interval that elapses begins at 11 to 12 years and extends to 18 to 20. However we cannot associate to a 13 with one 18 years. Let us talk about early adolescence between 11 to 14 years, which coincides with puberty, and after a second period of youth, or late adolescence between 15-20 years. Its extension to adulthood depends on social, cultural, environmental as well as personal adaptation.
One of the reasons why teenagers are involved in social problems is lack of love from the parents. Parents who are busy with works and neglect their children, makes it easier for their children to involve in activities that are harmful and dangerous as a sign of rebellion. Curiosity of the teenagers is another reason why teenagers involved in social problems. This is because they want to know and try something new. Living as a growing adult makes everything is interesting in their eyes. Without parental guidance and moral values, they could not differentiate between good things and bad things. Another cause of why teenagers involved in s...
Throughout our life, it can be marked by developmental changes in every domain of life: our physical, cognitive, social, personalities, and morals. Due to some important researchers such as Erickson, Freud, Piaget we are able to understand the development of each of these domains. Each stage of it’s life has it’s own difficulties and events that can determine a person’s life (Mogler, 2008). During the stages of adolescence, they are very vulnerable to a lot going on in their life such as fitting in, peers, family, school, activities, and society, and not to forget the ups and downs of puberty. Adolescence can be viewed as a huge part of many children’s lives where in this part of their life they try to find teenagers experience physical, cognitive,
Adolescence is a period of transition between the ages of 13 – 19, after childhood but before adulthood. Adolescence can be a difficult period in a teenager's life. Many teenagers do not know how to react or how to adapt to all of the physical, social, and psychological changes that occur during this period. Some adolescents pass through this period without problem, while for others, it is a period of torture, discomfort, and anxiety. With all the biological and social pressures that occur during adolescence, many teens fail to assume their identity. Sometimes family and society does not help to make this task easier. Challenges teenagers face due to biology and society are body image, hormonal changes, social and parental pressures, family problems, school pressures, alcohol, drug abuse, homosexuality, and suicide.
Once hormones have revealed themselves, children turn into confused young adults that think they can do everything by themselves and that there will no longer be any need for nurturing from adults. The word “young” from “young adults” is what teenagers completely ignore, when actually they should do the opposite and ignore the “adults” part. Furthermore, this causes infliction between teenagers and adults, especially their parents. Once they have the courage to say “no” with consciousness to what they are ordered to do, they come across a feeling, a feeling of being big and powerful. Because of that, teenagers then only focus on their new discovery of rebelling against adults and are, metaphorically speaking, injected with ego.
In America, the society runs on what teenagers want. From Nicki Minaj to the junior section at Sears, most of what the people see, hear, or touch is aimed at the teenagers. Being an adolescent is probably the most exciting and most popular time period in a person’s life. The teens seem to have it all, but what about the parents who raise them? The parents of the teenagers never get any credit during this time period, although they have every right to. Parents and teenagers should strive for a strong, lasting relationship for these years, though most times there isn’t one. The relationship between teenagers and parents is the most vital bond in the family because this relationship should and will prepare them for the next step in life.
Adolescence is a time of challenge and change for both teens and parents. Teens are at a stage in life where they face a multitude of pressing decisions -- including those about friends, careers, sex, smoking, drinking, drugs and parental values. At the same time, they are confronted with profound physical, social and emotional changes.
First, the importance of having a moral in youth could help those avoiding social problems. In family, parents play an important role in teaching them about moral values. They are the role model of their children and should be more concern about their children’s activities and who’s their friends. If the parent spends more time on their teenagers especially, it will decrease the social problem that have been seems rising these few years. Parents should take an action right now by taking care of their children with care and disciplines. For some parents, they are very strict about their teenagers loitering arou...
