Growing Pains

A serials that I watch during my teenage days, basically this series tell stories about psychological and emotional discomfort during adulthood. Usually the discomfort caused by thinking outside of our usual patterns that can create cognitive dissonance when long-held perspectives are challenged.

The serials shows how the family tackling their issue with a sense of humor, concerning with "growing pains" for their 3 kids through their adolescence years.

I just start to understand why it was called "growing pains", it truly pains that I felt to face the changing behavior of my daughter. Panically speakig, I'm questioning my ability as a mom. I tried to recall my childhood period, how I can pass that moment, but still it must be inapplicable today.

Watched "Turning Red" with family too....I still get out fro the cinema, questioning did I do the correct thing to help my daughter get through her growing pains?

Should I push her to the limit, so she can perform all out to show her ability?

Or should I just stay in the corner, become the spectator?

It's confusing for me, when I realize that every action will give psychological effect.

I should erase my thoughts that by the time our kids become teenager, we can let them to be independent, and I can start to work with my own life.

Turns out, there are lots of things that I should still learn.

It's not how to prepare healthy food, how to toilet training, or how to find a good nursery anymore.....

It's much much more than that.
