Tips for teens
Here are some tips to follow when talking to your parents.
- Try to remain calm - Losing your temper and your cool can distract from your goals. Be responsible: listen and talk without yelling.
- Follow each rule that they set - Your parents will appreciate you more if you follow their rules. They will be more receptive to you if they feel you respect them enough to follow their rules.
- Pick your battles - You can't fight about everything so determine what is most important to you.
- Spend time with your family - Let them know that you value their presence.
