kids n their behavior!

well to understand how someone feels you need to be in there shoes. It's not just teenaged girls that run away its boys too. some times parents forget to know how to listen and what it's like to be a young adult with all these news feelings and emotions. It can be over welcoming. A teen just doesn't run away to disrespect there family or there parents. Some times there is more to the a child leaves there house then the parent/s then that child is saying. I wouldn't just go to the fat that a person another human being just trying or is disrespecting there parents. AS a mother my self i know better to just say if something is wrong with my child and they do something like running it way its no to hurt me. they are trying to find the words and there own path but just don't know how.

I don't really understand why some children are stubborn. I know parents who are really great but their kids are opposite. I don't know if it is the parent's fault or they are just naturally stubborn. In this new age, a lot of young kids are pointing into the wrong directions. But I think parents have the most influence of this and they should learn how to lead their children. Otherwise, I don't know how. I just wish and hope that my son will not go to the wrong direction.

This stage is really a tough stage. They are still naive and they can`t seem to understand the things that we are giving to them. Like they still can`t appreciate effort, time and etc. I think it is only normal in that stage for them to be like that. They are starting to be teenage and their genes (biologically) is changing. They are quite in a rush and thinks that everything is simple. Nevertheless, they can understand on their own little by little in realization that everything is not what it seems. As a parent, we can only give understanding for them. Try to talk to him or her also. Try to tell them that if you are a mother in the future and same things happen what will she probably do? I hope you compromise with her !! GOOD LUCK !!

hi....i think in the teenage children really get stubburn and want to do everything they want to...they just dont want to hear the word NO...and i think it is the most difficult phase during parenting and this happens with most of the children..i think if your sister tries to become more as her friend rather then a mother this might help her...she can also try to get more involved or become more frinedly with her frineds too. either she can arrange for the small party for her friends or arrange a picnic for her and all her close friends.....i think by doing this she might be able to get a little more closer to her and understand her well..:)

You got to instil these values in them young. If you just give them whatever they want, of course they are going to run away. They will never learn anything from life. They will always expect you to be there to give them what they want.

some of these kids are suffering from mental illness, some are spoiled and some are just stubborn. they dont understand how hard it it to raise a child and some of them take things for granted. i think when they get older they will see the extent of foolishness they have done. i feel that sometimes there is so much a mother can do for these kids.

I just do not understand why some children behave the way they do. In some cases peer influence may be the factor. That is why it is important that parents should be aware of the type of company/friends that their children are having.
