Looking at the two different age groups, one idiosyncrasy that stands out is the child’s undeniable need to scatter every toy, gadget, or article of clothing, everywhere in the house—almost as if declaring his or her territory.

Another similarity that the two age groups share, along with the rest of the human race, is the need for sleep. Without it, the world might go crazy and it is no secret that both toddlers and teens sleep like hibernating bears. Both can easily obtain at least nine hours of sleep each night, which is crucial in helping both the development of their brain, and keeping the emotional roller coasters under control.

The moment teenagers catch sight of danger, they unknowingly become captivated by the risk and possibilities it holds. Examples of danger can include, driving too fast, staying past curfew, or skipping school. Teenagers are not the only age group to seemingly court danger.

In addition to their similar behavioral quirks, both experience the same physical and psychological
