How to talk to teens – A parents’ guide
Wouldn’t it be great if parents and their teenagers got on all the time? Post your best advice for parents below.
Be calm and reasonable and treat me like an adult. Under no circumstances should you speak to me as if I’m still a small child. THAI AN, HA NOI
Not only should you avoid speaking down to me, you should also notice when I do things that are good! PETE, DEVON
Surely, part of being a teenager is being allowed to make mistakes. So it’s not a good idea to tell me off every time I get something wrong! ARI, SEOUL
If you’re worried about me, just talk to me - calmly! On no account should you get angry. I’m not likely to want to confide in you if you’re shouting! TOM, LONDON
Rarely do teens and their parents agree all the time, but you can still get on well even if you don’t always see eye to eye. The best advice to parents? Try not to argue! You may regret not being patient!
