On the otherhand,
teenagerslose their patiencecontinually

thoseparentswhoyellat theirteensfor theiruntidiness,
but laterclearup afterthem,havefewerchancesof
changingtheirteens'behaviour.On the contrary,thosewho letteenagers experience the consequences
of
their actionsare more successful.For instance,when teenagerswho don't help their parentswith the
shoppingdon'tfindtheirfavourite
food in thefridge,theyareforcedto reconsider theiractions.

g'-trsychologists
saythatthe mostimportantthingin parent-teen relationships
