The young need to grow gradually into rights & related responsibilities.
Not turning all of the responsibilities on over night.

I read somewhere that just a few generations ago, youngsters used to work with adults. Thus they were exposed to values of adults. That helped them become wiser.
Nowadays, teenagers are all day at schools only among peers.
They hear no adult values.

4/ ...that many others don't listen, including many close to them.
Learn when to walk away, when not to give up, & definitely not to submit.

3/...sometimes discreetly, for their own positions, how put forward their points of view, how to time and how to negotiate with the fact...

With that, your children need to learn even more how to listen, how to stand up,...
