Why do some children ignore their parents' instructions?

They will begin to understand if you clearly explain it to them.

Explain to them why they are required to follow these rules.

Teach them about the consequences.
-
Encourage them to learn self-control

Which parenting style is most encouraged in modern America?
The traditional family structure is no longer as popular as 50 years ago. This is because families are changing. The role of parents in raising children has become less important. They prefer to spend their time alone, rather than spending time with their children. This is called helicopter parenting. It's when parents hover over their kids 24/7. They supervise their kids at all times. They ensure that their children are healthy and fit. This kind of parenting can cause stress for both parents and children. Parents feel guilty for not being there all the time, and kids feel they are missing out on their childhood experiences.
This parenting style doesn't teach children how to take good care of themselves. This type of parenting teaches children to rely on their parents for everything. Instead of teaching independence, parents teach dependence. Children learn that success requires adult help. They can blame themselves if they fail.
This makes children feel inadequate and worthless. They feel they are failing because they haven't lived up to their potential. Because they didn't learn how to cope with failure, they lack self-confidence.
Another reason why this type of parenting isn't so popular anymore is that there are fewer two-parent households. When both parents work outside the home, it makes it harder for them to be available to their kids. Parents often end up raising their children on their own.
These days, most parents want to raise happy, healthy kids. They don't want to worry about their kids getting enough sleep, eating well, or exercising. They want to focus on their own lives. They employ tutors, nannies, and other caregivers who will look after their kids.
They don't wish to have control over every aspect in their child's lives. They don't want their kids to think they can never make mistakes. They want their children to learn from their mistakes, and then try again.
Why is it so hard for teenagers to be parents?
It isn't easy but it is possible. It is important to allow them to learn and grow on their own. They are unique people with their own opinions and ideas. They are also growing up to become adults. Please be patient and understanding.
They will make mistakes sometimes and behave badly. Remember that mistakes are part of human nature. It's not always easy to predict what your children will do next.
Be open-minded and attentive to their words. Don't judge them too much. Try to see the world from their point of view.
And most importantly, love them unconditionally. That way, they will become better people.
