All girls go through a period of becoming a young woman. It is not easy for both the child and her parents. The process of growing up has several stages. To begin with, around age 11, girls begin to seek isolation from the usual norms. This seclusion is a preparation for adulthood, when, partly consciously and partly unconsciously, the girl begins to search for herself.

You should not treat your daughter as a child who cannot and does not know how to do anything. When your little girl enters college and leaves home, don't become an overprotective parent who interferes with the independence of your offspring. This process is like learning to ride a bike. Of course, your daughter will fall and bump herself, but you don't have to stop her. Otherwise, she will never learn to ride. You can be the training wheels that will help her. And sooner or later, she will learn to ride without you. Regardless, now you have to navigate the world for your daughter, not be a burden to her.

Of course, teenagers can be rude. You should not turn a blind eye to this but also should not take offense and behave irrationally. Many people bring up the need for respect in parent-child communication. But politeness is something more tangible. Ensure your daughter is polite to you by encouraging her to use polite language. Use healthy communication with your daughter, explain your feelings to her, and let her know that you understand her. Build a new special bond with your no longer little girl while also setting boundaries.

Speaking of connection, many people do realize that they have lost contact with their child as they grow older. So why not set aside some quality time to spend with your teen? Watch movies, go for walks, and have dinner together. Help your girl improve her psychological health with your support. When a teenager knows her parents are always on her side, her academic success and mental health improve.
