Even the most well-behaved children can become difficult teenagers, and it is important for adults to be patient and attentive with them.

Many people start to worry about changes in their child's appearance or strange tastes. This is a normal part of puberty.

It is important for teenagers to feel that their parents love and understand them.

Therefore, it is not recommended to say certain phrases in the presence of children.

"You look terrible!"

When parents make comments about appearance, they do so for a good reason.

They don't want their children to wear bright colors or flashy clothes.

However, teenagers are very sensitive and worry about their attractiveness. That is why such expressions can be misleading and make children even more concerned about their appearance.

"You have terrible taste."

Just because there is an age difference does not mean that children and adults should have the same tastes.

Many teenagers love strange games, strange music and unusual films.

However, over time, teenagers will find what they really like, and "terrible taste" will become a thing of the past. Negative comments about your child's idols can be offensive to them.

"Here I am at your age" is a common phrase

We all heard them in childhood, hurtful words that do not help us in any way.

Parents try to set a good example for their children and guide them in the right direction, but the effect is the opposite.

For this reason, experts advise against using this phrase.

"And what will you grow up to be?"

Although teenagers' behavior can be very "irritable" and defiant, adults must take age into account.

Don't be offended by their harsh statements. Teenagers' behavior does not always please parents, but try to be patient and not talk too much.
