A parent noticed her 7-year-old daughter acting like a teenager, saying things like "I hate you, you're the strictest parent." The speaker argues this early independence and opinion-forming is normal and actually helps kids regulate emotions better down the road.
So a child becomes a teenager according to me by 7. How? That's like 5 years earlier than what I would expect to assume. That's how the world is growing. You talk about periods, they're happening average age is between 9 and 11. That's when periods start. Hormonal changes are happening 9+. So the first time my daughter, when she turned 7, 7 and a half, she said, I hate you, you're the strictest parent in the world. You don't understand me, you don't know me. Everybody else is so lenient and so understanding, but you don't get me. So that's when the feeling the opinions. Basically, 7+ is when opinions start building, and the more we help them with the opinions, the better they'll be able to regulate their emotions.
