My teenage daughter experiences time completely differently than we do—an hour feels like forever to her when she's bored but homework time disappears in what feels like minutes, and as a family we're constantly fighting about schedules and deadlines. None of us understand how to bridge this gap between her internal time and the external world she has to navigate.
More people experience this than they realize.
The family is caught between honoring a teenager's natural time experience while helping them function in a world that demands punctuality and planning.
“Where Are You with Children and time — how they experience it?”
