Conflicts
between the adolescents and their parents are nothing new, rather it has become
the most prominent problem nowadays. There are certain common areas of
conflicts like demanding their independence, even they often argument with
their parents in every aspect or they set a specific boundary around them etc.
A common communication barrier is also created between parents and teenagers.
During adolescence, there is a tendency to interrupt whatever their parents
ask them to do. Apart from these, during this age, there is an urge to discover
new things in an innovatively. Therefore, they often indulge in any risk-taking
activities and if it is interrupted, they often show tantrums or excessive
emotional outbursts.
The
developmental psychology of adolescents has explained that the age between 13
to 18 years, is the age of ‘storm and stress’. In this
period, adolescents often deal with some confusion, whether they need to act
like a child or an adult. As a result, they often show ‘tantrums’ or angry
outbursts. Moreover, at this time they can’t handle any kind of criticism from
their adults, which leads to an argument. The best psychologist in Kolkata has stated they
are very sensitive in this period, as the self-esteem and social acceptance
seems too important to them.
Most
importantly, the parents have to be cooperative enough so that the teenagers
could share their feelings freely. In this time, as they show argumentative
behavior, they have to be handled politely and allow them to talk about
whatever they want to. The best psychiatrist in Kolkata has recommended that
they need to be indulged in any creative activities to channelize their
emotional tantrums. Gaining trust is very important to rebuild the bonding of
parents and children during this time. Conflicts between family members often
affect teenagers, which needs to be handled properly. Even they should be
prevented from any kind of bad habits like substance or drug abuse. One can
