Answer 1

I often used to wonder when I was young how come children can go away from their parents. Because in India this is not the case, the child stays with his parents at least till his marraige life. Children need their parents, advice they have security, they have warmth around their parents. It is just difference of opinions, because these teenagers have their own views towards life.

There can be a settlement, there can be a discussion between the parents and their children, which is very normal case in India. The growing children need their own space, they do not like the interference but at the same time aren't aware about this cruel world, which parents have expereinced. The boomrang children have experienced the world out side and can easily know the difference of support being provided to them. The parents should also not express their opinion if done something wrong, they should understand that their child is experimenting, they should not deny or overreact immediately.

The children should be taught to respect their parents, not to take them for granted, not to shout at them and be a good child.
