However, on the negative side, they often experience stress, low self-confidence, and a sense of being stifled. Consequently, they frequently withdraw, lie, or conceal things from their parents in an attempt to feel free.

The keys to maintaining a harmonious family relationship are mutual understanding through two-way communication, openness, and respect for the child's personal space.]]>
