When your uncomplicated and cheerful little daughter suddenly becomes an unbalanced teenager, with nasty moods and angry outbursts, a challenging time begins for you as parents. With puberty, moods are constantly changing. Sky-high one moment, a tantrum can follow the next, ending with doors rattling and a retreat to the nursery. Is that still normal? Yes, it is. Don't be surprised if your daughter acts emphatically cool in front of her friends all the time, but comes snuggling up to you in an unguarded moment. The road to adulthood is marked by many ups and downs. The ups and downs require one thing above all from parents: composure and a whole lot of love.
