How long does a childhood/teen phase last?
Does anyone know? I'm curious. So far I have two children who have been in the Clingy and Mean Streak phase respectively for a couple of days now so it definitely lasts more than a day. Their two teen...

Not always. When the parents asked about the Mean Streak and Clingy phases the kids were in, the responses they got pretty much indicated you just have to wait them out. I did discipline the kid who was in the Mean Streak phase every time she was mean to her siblings (at least when I caught it) and it might have helped reduce the time the phase lasted. I think it was over in 2, maybe 3 days. The Clingy phase you can do nothing with, however. Just wait for it to be over as far as I know.
Well, it seems like discipline for mean behavior during a mean streak takes 0.75 days off the clock. But then, it doesn't work all the time (not to mention the clock is hidden, so there's no real confirmation). I once figured that "hey, all I have to do then is to just have her be mean and punish her over and over again". Well, that didn't work out. Maybe the trait buff got removed but the trait didn't, otherwise it did nothing beyond the first time.
