While they are experimenting with new behaviors and values, it is normal for adolescents to begin breaking the grown-up rules that they have been following since they were children. Some rule-breaking actions are considered healthy for adolescents. But when does rule-breaking become delinquency? How does one differentiate rebellion from exuberance? Research indicates that one of the main factors in chronic delinquency is lack of parental supervision. How does a parent provide adequate supervision without suffocating the adolescent?
