“But some parents are conflict-phobic — they are uncomfortable and afraid of being the object of their teen’s wrath, and so they avoid setting the limits their teen needs. However, this teaches adolescents that if they throw a tantrum, they can get out of a limit.”

“Teens are impulsive, self-centered, and irrational. They have outbursts of anger and disrespect, then in a few minutes, they swing back to love and compliance.”
― John Townsend, Boundaries With Teens

“no matter how much you love your teen, you have a built-in limitation, and it is this: you can only parent to your own level of maturity.”
― John Townsend, Boundaries With Teens

“Be a supporter of your kid’s extra-family world, as long as that world is one that is reasonably safe and supports your own values and beliefs.”
