I do feel bad telling parents that it will probably get worse again! Sorry! Apparently they do get better, then they leave home… 😉

Lol, the grunting and lack of use of words is an issue here… they really are worse than toddlers!!

Apparently it does! My dad thinks this is hilarious, because he remembers my own tween and teen years and says it’s karma!! 🙂

I had to smile on teenagers being giant toddlers. I am imagining how my journey will be since we are still toddlers. Am loving the fact that all the above you wrote will prepare me for when they become teens ☺☺

Thanks for the heads up, my son is 9 at the moment.The level of “negotiation” we have been introduced to lately is epic. I guess I should work at upping my game. There are moments I wonder why we ever taught him to speak, things would be so much easier ;D

Gosh this sounds scarily true, when I think of our 14 year old daughter. A grown up body but the mood swings and demanding nature of the toddler tantrum years. So it will pass, wont it???? Please say it will😳🏂

My teens are now 15 and 19 and looking back I think there have been a few moments for sure when the toddler mentality has reappeared, although if it is any consolation it does become more sporadic. I hope you survive this phase with yours. Sending you lots of luck and strength. #TweensTeensBeyond

So many similarities Karen. I’m experiencing a bit of a good stretch at the moment but I also know how quickly these things can change. The sensitivities and the little opinions are flowering so it’s always good to be mindful a these times. Onwards!! Thanks for sharing with #tweensteensbeyond
