“Adolescence” isn’t biologically normal. Yes, your daughter will change during puberty, but these changes are physical. The whole image we have of adolescent rebellion and independence comes not from the biochemistry of your daughter; it is—and has been—contrived by modern marketing. It’s a “product” you and your daughter don’t have to buy. The idea that parents should leave their teenagers alone only makes it easier to sell this product to your daughter, and actually causes or exacerbates what we think of as “adolescent problems.”
