Pushing the boundaries
This is really normal for our kids throughout all their developmental stages, but when adolescent hits it feels particularly hard. But if your kids are pushing the boundaries at this new developmental stage, use this as an opportunity to re-set the boundaries, alongside your kids, because frankly they may need dusting off and some re-thinking.
Involvement from kids, and us listening to them and adjusting in some areas, is more likely to support them to stick with the rules and work in line with your whānau values.
