Parenting teens is a realm of its own. It's nothing like parenting a baby or a toddler. In this case you are dealing with someone who is on the journey of developing their own world view. And sometimes it gets frustrating for both of you.
This is why patience is a very important virtue that pregnancy teaches you. You always have to be patient and supportive with your children so that they find a safe space in you. Teenage is a very confusing time for them so don't expect them to be at their behaviour that you deem to be the best.
This is also a time where you should keep a check on your expectations. And try not to over expect from your teenager. Remember sometimes the best way to lead is leading by example. So you can teach your kids values like respect, empathy , space and growth etc, while practicing them in your waking life.
