They aren't so little anymore. They want independence, you want their music turned down. They want to engage in all sorts of activities, you want them to shower and pick up after themselves. You are bound to butt heads from time to time. This is a trying, at often harrowing time for parents. Every day is a new challenge and every breakthrough a major accomplishment worth bragging about. Share your stories and best demonstrated practices in getting through these times with your teenagers and we can learn from each other and grow together.
