Childhood
When a baby comes into the world, it is helpless and it needs constant care. Its mother has to feed her baby, change its nappies, bathe it, take it outdoors in a pram and also hug it or take it in her arms and soothe it, when the baby cries.
Later, the child begins to walk and speak and all sorts of educational problems appear. Parents do their best to bring up it well. They want their child to be truthful, modest and obedient. It´s important to devote enough time to the child´s upbringing, but in these days, many parents haven´t time for this, so children are often naughty, spoiled and they answer back.

Adolescence, puberty
When the child reaches his puberty, he can break away from his parent´s control. He feels that his parents don´t understand him anymore and begins to prefer company of his peers. He spends more and more time away from home. There is a generation gap between parents and children, which leads to conflicts between them. The teenagers often argue with parents about pocket money, clothes they would like to wear, their friends, school results and other things. They don´t like when their parents want them to help with house chores or when they don´t let their child go where he wants to or when they want him to be at home by a certain time.
Trust and agreement between parents and children is really important. If the child is obedient, has good school results, keeps promises and observes rules, his parents probably allow him much more."
