During the time of puberty, your child goes through physical and mental changes. They often feel very depressed and lose temper now and then for so many silly issues. They get mood swings more often.

The very painful fact is that, our children born eventually to get apart from u and we can’t really do anything about it. You can’t always stop them from living life by their choices and the poor choices they often make. They are going to learn from their mistakes but still won’t listen to you when you alert them. You can’t really protect them all the time. The learn things from everywhere and they can have really bad influence at any place that can drive them away from you or from a good life to the one which you never wanted. At this time it’s really hard to control them without being the best friend of them. Once they start sharing all the small and big incidents with you that are going on their life, you get a breath of relief because you know at which time you need to treat them in which way and also you can have their back if anything bad happens to them.
