It's never been easy to parent teens: They want to establish their autonomy, which can lead to arguments.
But parenting may be tougher than ever. It's often asserted that the next generation will be the first to do less well than the previous. For example, most Gen Zers will not be able to afford to buy a home, that linchpin of the American dream. Layer on top of that a job market impeded by automation, offshoring, and now the COVID economic collapse, and it's easy to understand why teenagers are so stressed.
My Psychology Today article today offers three keys to good parenting that should help, even in these tough times.
