The most difficult age of communication between parents and children is adolescence. The rapid growth of children creates tension in communication and panic among parents. But there are always ways to make this coexistence easier.
Here are some tips for parents:
Encourage the teenager to openly share the way he sees things
Parent: Why is it so hard for you to come home early?
Teenager: Only I have to come home at ten o’clock. I always have to leave when everyone is enjoying themselves.
Show the way you see things.
Parent: Every time you are late, I worry about you. Where my mind goes.
Invite your teen to come up with ideas with you.
Parent: Let’s find some way together so that you can spend a little more time with your friends, but on the other hand, I can feel at peace.
Write down all the ideas on a paper: Go through the list again from the beginning and finally decide which of the ones you marked you will leave in force.
