The words "teenage" and "rebellion" may seem like they go hand in hand, but it has not always been that way. In the past, getting older meant a child was becoming an adult. Look at their behavior that you call "rebellion" and ask yourself some questions. Is this behavior really my child simply becoming an adult? Because sometimes what we label as rebellion may be the child beginning to making a decision for themselves.
One thing that may help (MAY help, mind you!) is to think about the choices that other adults make. If your child makes a decision that you do not agree with, but it is a decision that other adults make all the time, maybe it is not rebellion at all! Maybe it is simply your child growing up! For example, their choice in clothing, or how they style their hair. Their choices may not be your choices. But are those choices OK? If another adult made that choice, would really upset or confuse you? Because if not, perhaps it is an OK choice for your child to make.
Some parents allow their children many choices in their homeschool. Instead of telling them when each thing must be done, they just tell them WHAT things must be done. "Finish these ten things before 5:00" for example - leaving them to decide when they want to do each item. Some children would prefer to get up at 5:00 and be done by noon! Is that wrong? Or just a choice they make? What if it is on the other side? What if they get up at noon, and do not finish their schoolwork until 5:00? IS that wrong, or just a choice?
Frankly, in my home, I truly did make them finish their school work by 4:00. I know that going later MAY have been a fine choice for them to make, but it did not work well with our family. I needed my husband to "play the heavy" in some areas, so they had to be done before he got home, in order for him to work his magic and make sure it was all done each day. We had sports in the afternoons, and I really do not do well after dinner. Having them turn in assignments during my own times of fatigue would have been horrendous! So make sure that you decide what works for you family, more than anything!
