When Do Teens Become More Tolerable? A Parent’s Honest Reflection

Have you ever wondered at what age teens become more tolerable? As a parent, I’ve asked myself this question more times than I can count. There were days when my teenager’s mood swings and eye rolls felt endless, and I found myself longing for a glimpse of the sweet child I once knew. But then, almost overnight, I noticed small changes—more laughter, genuine conversations, and even the occasional thank you. It didn’t happen at a specific age, but rather as my teen grew into their own skin and our relationship shifted. Every family’s journey is different, but I’ve learned that patience and open communication can make those tough years a little more bearable. What age did you notice a change in your teen?
