THE TEEN YEARS
Methods of discipline that used to work well when Jenny was a child no longer have an effect. She used
to read a lot but she does not even look at a book anymore. She says she doesn’t need books anymore, since
her computer giver her all the information she needs. Jenny’s parents don’t have time to talk to her about
those things, and they are worried about the choices their teen is making.

The teen years are ripe for producing conflict in the family. The relationship between parents and their children may
include these typical areas of conflict:
• School performance;
• Spending time with the family versus with peers;
• Disputes over the teen’s curfew;
• Cars and driving privileges;
• Dating and sexuality;
• Clothing, hair styles and make-up;
• Self-destructive behaviors such as smoking, drinking and using drugs
The teen years pose some of the most difficult challenges for families. One of the main goals for a teenager must be
reducing dependence on parents while becoming increasingly responsible and independent, but that’s not easy. Like
many other parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brown are not happy about their daughter’s behavior. Perhaps they should look in
the mirror to see the root of their daughter’s problems.
