7 ways to understand Nepali teenagers and deal with their growth: A mother’s testimony

I was getting ready for the office last week when my teenage daughter complained about her hairstyle and how she hated it. I have often seen her getting mad at her hair, murmuring over it as it ‘fails to be her type’. Then, she asks me why she does not have hair like mine or her granny’s.

I smile and tell her, “You can either complain or be thankful.” Then, on that weekend, we watched Pinterest or Instagram and tried new hairstyles. This helped to switch her mood and focus from complaining to styling.
