Being a teen to being a toddler
When I was a kid, I always admired all the extravagant and out of this world thing that teenagers able to do. And all I wanted to be is to be a teenager. And as the year goes by, I got more excited, because I was getting closer to be a teenager. And now I am a teenager, I wish I could be a kid again. It is quite funny how my opinion changed that fast. Here is what I figure out are the differences and similarity between being a teenager and being a kid.
Being a teenager is one of the toughest and most memorial processes in your lifetime. A teenager goes through many pleasant times and depressions. They go through the pleasant times just like the kids does, but the kids don’t really go through depressing times. The teenagers can be depressing over either losing a friend, got bullied, loneliness and low self confident. When I was a little kid, I was allowed to do anything that I wanted to do. I can go outside, play with my friends all day long and everyone likes you. Being a kid was fun, you never had to worry about having any hard works or having a test the next day. Life was just like a wonderland. But for teenagers, you will have to go home fast after school and start to do homework and review for the test.
Every year that passed, as a teenager, my parents will give more freedom like how they allow me to go outside with my friends unlike when I was a little kid. I always wanted to go outside to the playground and play with my friends but sometimes when I ask my parents they would either say, “Well, what did your father say,” or, “What did your mother say.” And if one parent said no, then everything will be no, no matter how hard you try to convince them.

    It is common for parents to be concerned about their children’s teen years, with rebellion, mood swings, and poor decisions being frequent grievances. Parents dread this “phase” and enter it with trepidation while being urged by their teens to give them more freedom as a person. What parents don’t realize is that their incessant complaints regarding their children’s unbounded freedom can have a negative impact on them. Many teens hear these complaints and believe that their parents would not approve of their choices and they must navigate their personal issues without assistance. Hormones alone are not what guide teens’ seemingly irrational behavior, but the absence of constructive parental guidance, too much freedom, and the stress associated…

    Teens can be fun and are able to do more than a toddler would be able to. Even though they are in the process of learning teens can do more themselves such as bathing, cooking, and cleaning. They are great with helping out with younger siblings. As teens build their independence they have a lot more stress to deal with than a toddler would. There is so much pressure that surrounds a teens everyday life which includes peer pressure, relationships, sex, bullying, social media, drugs and school work. Communication is not always but, for the most part easier to understand than a toddlers. Toddlers on the other hand can be a handful and are understandably more needy. Toddlers can be lots of fun and playful but any little change in their schedule or missed nap time can result in a major catastrophe! Thankfully toddlers are easily satisfied and very forgiving.Having a toddler has its stresses but one thing you can always be sure of is knowing where they are at. Unlike teens, toddlers are more dependent on their parents and are pretty much always by their side. On the downside everything is a learning experience, this includes the not so fun potty training stage. The one thing that makes the stresses of having a toddler seem no existent is that they are so cute and still love to…

    As I grew up and matured my parents became more lax with the rules and I was able to practice my own judgement. They changed their parenting style to permissive when I was seventeen. I was able to stay as late as I perceived was okay or even miss a class. This allowed me to develop my sense of self and my independence. When I entered university there were no longer rules, but still have the same amount of warmth, support and…

    “Mom it’s not just a phase, this is who I am now and you can’t change who I am.” The very idea of anyone attempting to control our actions can be unpalatable. Every teenager has experienced scrutiny and orders from their parents up to the point where the household begins to feel like a dictatorship. As children, our determination to explore different activities the world has to provide overrides the dictation of our parents. However, we often forget that our parents were once in our shoes and their rules are meant to prevent us from experiencing the hardships that they endured. Although we should respect our parents, we should not abide by every rule that our parents place on us, because they don’t always coincide with our personal goals.…

    Children are too immature and unwise to be more honest, and less hypocritical than grown-ups. Although children have the ability to tell the truth, they don’t have the proper tools to express themselves. For example, a child would say the truth to an individual whose day is going horribly. The truth would be that the person’s clothes are dirty, but the person just came from a hard day of work and his or her boss was aggressive with feedback on their clothes as well. In addition to the boss, the child’s truth will only add on more negative stress. Therefore, the child does not have enough experience to consider timing.…
