  2. They pretend to know everything as a result of brain development. It’s a protective mechanisms for anxiety and we enjoy being able to talk to experts!

  3. Imparting great, adaptive coping skills changes both the quality of life and relationships now and for the rest of their lives.

  4. We are able to be heard in a different way than parents. A developmental norm is identity development and separation from parents. Teens need space and hear the same words parents may say differently from another adult. Sorry parents, this changes back by the mid-20’s.
