You might feel like you do know whats best for your
teenager. And youre probably right!
But the phrase I know whats best for you isnt persuasive.
In fact, it causes teenagers to disengage and switch off.
Teenagers arent motivated when they feel as though other
people are running their life.
Whenever your teenager needs to make a major decision,
have a calm discussion with him or her. Teenagers respond
best when their parents listen to what they have to say, and
try to see things from their perspective.
I encourage you to listenreally listen, not just wait for
your teenager to finish speaking so you can express your
views or exert your parental authority. As you listen, dont
make assumptions or jump to conclusions.
