• There are certain hormonal changes which bring changes in the way we think, the way we look, the way we act and the way we react to our surroundings and the people in the surroundings and it is more than normal to react to such things and most of the times it is aggressive.
• Changes in the body, while we are in our teenage are strong enough to affect lot of things within us. It might be difficult for the parents to suddenly accept the changes in their children’s behavior and body and similarly they also become over protective and quarrelsome.
• It is even more difficult for the teenagers to cope up with the ups and downs they feel in their energy levels and the newness in them.
• In the process of understanding how to act and react to this reshaping of their body and mind, they become aggressive and grumpy.

Role of Parents

• Parents in any case hold a very important place in the life of their children and same goes for the role of children in their parent’s life.
• Today knowingly or unknowingly the parents are not able to give the needed attention to their kid when they are in their growth years. Parents are unable to find what their teenager kid is expecting as and when he or she is moving towards changes. Parents should not always expect the child to come forward and speak his heart out as this hesitation and a phase of distancing self from parents is a major consequence and sign of getting into this sensitive age of teenage! Parents should go talk to their child casually and build a very solid trust in them making them believe that they are always there for their child and there is nothing bigger and more important than self love.
• Parents should assure that they do not make their child an antisocial, over pampered brat in a world full of independents and all-rounders.
• Parents being the experienced section of the family should be tactful enough and be observant to look out for what is the child up to and what are the things, situations or environment which makes them feel out of place and forces them to be aggressive.
