humansofnewyork:

“My kids are teenagers now, and they’re going off on their own. And you understand it, but it’s hard for it not to hurt. Like the day you realize you’re not allowed in your daughter’s room anymore. Or when your son doesn’t want you to show him how to do something. The relationship tends to ebb and flow between ‘help me’ and ‘leave me alone.’ But lately, it’s been much more ‘leave me alone.’”

Sabtu lalu baru aja kuliah 2 hari tentang Psikologi Remaja dan dapat banyak insights yang sangat berguna tentang masa remaja.

Salah satunya ya tentang periode pembangkangan ini, memang wajar. Yg penting ortu paham bahwa itu adalah periode, ga selamanya akan seperti itu, and don’t take it too personally.

God please give me strength to face it one day 😁
