The thought of him practicing to be a leader on his mom is something i have never heard. Can yo offer any examples? What does this look like? How will I recognize it? #3..Picking Battles has been my biggest problem over the last few years with my 14 year old. I get into this mindset that i have to be right all the time. I think that i am afraid that if I let him be right,then he will not respect me. What do you think? I am almost to the end of my rope. I don't know how much longer I can live in constant conflict with him. #1 and #3 are interesting. The thought of him practicing to be a leader on his mom is something i have never heard.

Now at 17 I see him as the budding leader you describe, but those early teen years took me totally by surprise. My children always amaze me. Thank you for giving me a little more insight into their developmental phases.
