responsibilities that go along with those choices. Conflicts arise most sharply when teens are 13-15 years old, but generally decline as children get older. As might be expected, younger teens need more help in making decisions than older teens because they are less capable of understanding how their behaviours can affect themselves and others. As teens get older, they are better able to consider and understand the possible consequences of their behaviours and so are better able to make important decisions. For adolescents, the struggle for autonomy (being able to think and act independently) can be quite stressful. Although teens may behave in ways to assert their autonomy from the family, they still depend on parents for emotional support and guidance. By including teens in appropriate decision making, parents can help their children learn how to make good decisions and become independent adults.
