In some families, children are always encouraged to listen to elders before they take any major decision because it is said that the adults’s voice is the voice of reason. On the other hand, there are families where teenagers are expected to take major decisions by themselves and are pressured to make the ‘right choice’. In this video on teenagers and decision making, our expert Aarti Rajaratnam suggests ways for parents to handle the situation.
