Thank you for your question. Young children can feel scared when they realise their parents aren't perfect, because it is believing that your parents are perfect, that makes children feel safe and secure. Gradually over time, adolescents naturally begin to question their parent's actions, values, and decisions, as they begin to make more choices for themselves, and they begin to form their own identities. They are able to identify their parents more as real people who are fallible. Adolescents that are not allowed to naturally separate from, or question their parents, and are expected to continue fulfilling their parent's expectations, may feel confused, as their identity development is threatened.
