Your grown child is now going to be a teenager, the bridge to adulthood.

This is the age when they start asking, fighting and arguing for more freedom, greater independence and test the limits of acceptable behaviour. They are looking for individuality, their own special acceptance in the society.Because of the raging hormonal changes inside their body, your child becomes moody, and their body, emotions and actions are affected. Their clothing, appearance, behaviour and thinking, all are changing very fast and more often than ever. This is also the most vulnerable age when they are getting more confused and more often they have to choose between the parents and the friends.

This is the time your child needs more support from you, more privacy and more time for themselves, so they can adjust to the occurring changes.

The school years are full of mental challenges for your kid. At this stage, their mind is bombarded by all kinds of information and knowledge. School, homework, play and physical activities are all parts of the world that influences your child’s further intellectual development.

At this age they are also influenced by the media around them – TV, radio, the internet, books and other reading materials.

If your child is not properly controlled at this stage of growing up, your parental influence on them can be diminished as the child is more influenced by his peers and friends. They also learns social skills and the different ways to interact with different kinds of people.

This is also the stage where your child’s interests can begin to show, and if they are gifted for any particular sport or studies, it becomes apparent.
