while raising Juliet‚ hoping you will be able to learn from my past experiences and not make the same mistakes I have already made. One of the biggest mistakes I made as a father is not giving Juliet the freedom she deserved. As parents‚ we want the best for our children as we want to ensure their safety. However‚ we tend to forget that they’re growing up and we take away their choices and rights as we think we know what’s best for them.

During the growth process‚ teenager is an important stage. It is time when children take shape in both biology and psychology. Teenagers want to affirm their own personalities; some people think that parents or adult relatives should make important decisions for teenagers. However‚ I definitely disagree with that statement.
