I noticed some of my friends' kids rebel at the parents.
There was once I saw that my friend told her daughter to wear her clothes after bathing. She shouted at her mom !
I pity my friend. She is a working mother and her daughter is her only child. Her husband is also working. During daytime when both are out to work, her mother takes care of her. In the evening when my friend comes back home, she would play with her for awhile. Then she bathed her. She got stressed up whenever she tells her daughter to wear her clothes on her own.
"I don't want to wear clothes! I don't want !!!" My friend scolded her . She becomes more rebellious . I was speechless. I couldn't interfere . I just kept quiet.
In this situation, can I interfere?
Why do some children rebel at their parents even though they spend time together after work ?

It's kinda bit mind-boggling. I just wanna ask how old is the kid? Is she less than 6 years? If the child is less than 6 years old then that is not consider rebel. It's just a way on how child acts.

Well, if she is your close friend, I think you can tell her some advices that you have in mind. It's just up to her whether she will do what you said but at least, there is something that she will think about.
Those rebellions really vary from the parents to the children and as to how they respond to situations around them. Others really understand that their parents need to work for them that's why they can't be with their child everytime. While others, having a high tendency of emotional breakdown, may conclude that they are being abandoned. Mostly, they are just being bullied and sometimes it results to kids being more rebellious.

It can be many different reasons that children rebel. I mean to me it all depends on the family dynamics they are a part of. There could be deep routed family issues that aren't talked about and the childs outbursts are his/her only way out.
I have a friend who has a VERY rebellious son- since he was 5 he disrespects and even raises his hand to her. I have been telling my friend since then (boy is now 11) to handle it before it gets out of hand. Now he is taller, stronger and even more rebellious than ever. Come to find out he has a tumor in the back of his brain that may be messing with his growth and development and he also has been having minnie seizures since before he was 5 that doctors mistook for ticks because they only consisted of him staring off into space for minutes at a time. Now he is on medication for it and has calmed down a bit but is still more than a handful :(
So I would have to say that every child rebels for different reasons. The key is to get to the bottom of it

there are many things that influences a child behavior it can possibly be the influence of the following: television- cartoons now a days is not good, friendly and educational as it looks but of course not but these are SOME or seen from the adult movies, community influence, spoiling kid's behavior when done wrong instead of correcting her it just let it pass or common mistake is when reprimanding the child and when the child cries trying to please the kid in return correcting her doesn't make in any way right anymore, influence by the person she's always been with when the parents is not around a child is still a child it doesn't so much think in rational way of course but always imitating somebody's attitude that comforts her and seems right to her. Since her parents are both busy there are few things they haven't seen to discipline their child
