The brain becomes mature by the age of 32: 33% of youth aged 18-34 years are not able to become self-reliant due to pressure; Parents should be children’s friends, not their boss.

A youth becomes an adult at the age of 18, but research by Cambridge University shows that the teenage stage of the human brain lasts for 32 years. That means maturity is not complete at the age of 18-25. This time is both a challenge and an opportunity for children. According to British psychotherapist Julia Samuel, the biggest reason for conflict between parents and children in today’s times is that parents want to maintain control over their children even after 18. According to research, children of overly intrusive parents lack self-confidence and are unable to establish their own identity. Due to expensive living conditions and changing careers, today 33% of 18-34 year old youth have not been able to become self-reliant and are forced to live with their parents. In such a situation, parents should play the role of a friend instead of a boss. Relationship: Children’s self-confidence decreases due to parental monitoring all the time. Many parents often become victims of ‘helicopter parenting’ (monitoring all the time), which affects children’s self-confidence and mental health. Experts advise that when the child returns home after completing schooling and college from hostel as an adult, then talk to him openly about household expenses, work and privacy. Treat them like adults instead of teenagers. If you take all their decisions yourself, they will never be able to be responsible. Remember, the real job of a mother or father is not to make the child dependent on them, but to make him capable of choosing his own path. In case of disagreement, understanding their point of view instead of winning the argument saves the relationship from breaking. Mutual understanding is the real secret of a happy family. Excessive dependence in relationships is often considered wrong, but according to expert Nedra Tawab, not every dependence is bad. She calls it ‘healthy dependency’. Tawab believes that by living alone we cannot learn qualities like understanding our choices or standing firm on our point. These experiences are possible only with relationships. According to him, every relationship does not follow the 50-50 rule of mathematics.
