Question: My 14-year-old son is very disrespectful to my husband and me, and we don’t know what to do. He often gets home after dark. And we have a big argument after he comes back. Can you help us?

Answer: Your son should, of course, come back before dark, not because you say so, but because it is his responsibility and because you would worry about him if he didn’t come home when he promised. 1. . Just tell him that he has to be home on time if he wants to go out next time — and that this is his choice, not yours.

His disrespect is part of a bigger issue. Your son desires independence because the young always do when they hit puberty (青春期). New hormones (荷爾蒙), a new need to pull away from their parents results in this desire. 2. .

Your son may also be acting up because your discipline hasn’t kept up with his growth. A child hates to be corrected when his parents use the same words they used when correcting him a year ago. 3. .

He won’ t even argue with you too much, if you listen to his rants (咆哮) and consider his reasons when you have to say no. You need to know that your respect is as important as his respect. 4. . This doesn’t complete anything and must worsen your relationship.

Your child not only needs your respect. 5. . They need your pity for him when things go wrong, rather than tell him what he should have done. Now is the time to give as few orders as possible (but stick to the ones you give).

A. But don’t worry.

B. But don’t argue about it.

C. He wants you to react to him at the age he is today.

D. So boys and girls are so eager to spread their wings.

E. If you don’t listen and consider, he won’t hear a word you say.

F. He is growing physically, mentally, emotionally and even morally.

G. He also needs you to encourage his dreams, no matter how strange they are.
