Here's the exact age your kid stops listening to you, according to research.
“Our findings demonstrate that this process is rooted in neurobiological changes,” Menon said. “When teens appear to be rebelling by not listening to their parents, it is because they are wired to pay more attention to voices outside their home.”at Stanford found that babies are laser-focused on their primary caregivers’ voices, and can recognize their mom’s voice with high accuracy. Not only that, but they found that a baby’s brain lights up at the sound of their mama’s voice.
This new study, which focused on kids ages 13 to 16.5, had teens listen to their mom’s voice, the voices of women they didn’t know, and common household sounds. Unlike the babies, whose brains responded to only their mom’s voice, teen brains were more interested in what strangers had to say. They still recognized their mom’s voice 97% of the time, but their brains were less interested in it.
“A child becomes independent at some point, and that has to be precipitated by an underlying biological signal,” said the study’s senior author, Vinod Menon, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences. “That’s what we’ve uncovered: This is a signal that helps teens engage with the world and form connections which allow them to be socially adept outside their families.
