Teens normally come to their parents when they need to talk. Be patient. Your teen may appear to be rude, in a hurry or cut you short. This is not their intention. Be patient
.
- Teens are not adults. You may from time to time have an adult conversation with your teen. Treasure this moment! Don’t expect it all the time.
- Teens often are more comfortable talking to their friends or peers than they are talking to adults; especially their parents. Again, nothing against you mom or dad, but kids their age are more fun to talk with. Be patient.
Moody teens will avoid conversations with you. - Happy teens may talk your ears off. You may have to listen, nod your head and smile. Be patient.
- See the section in Scott Counseling regarding communicating with you child for information on parenting techniques and strategies on this topic. Be patient!
