Document Summary
In reality, parents and teens have similar beliefs about core values (religion, work, education: however, differences in opinions for matters of personal taste. Adolescents do not rebel as much and as badly as is portrayed: accept parents" rules when they agree that they issue is moral one, less inclined to accept parent"s authority when they view issue as personal. Adolescents make distinctions between: rules that they think parents have right to make, rules they think are out of bounds. Seemingly mundane issues: curfews, leisure time activities, clothing, cleanliness of room. Disagreements stem from different perspectives on issues and violations of expectations. Contrary to stereotype, adolescents rarely rebel against parents for sake of rebelling. Conflict between parents and children increases during early adolescence. Among those teens and parents who report having problems, the great majority had problematic relationships during childhood. Increased concern about bodies, physical attractiveness and sexual appeal: midlife crisis. Adolescents: undergoing rapid physical growth, sexual maturation, gaining physical attractiveness.
