Building a healthy relationship with your teenager
Effective Communication: Open and honest communication is the foundation of any healthy relationship, and this is especially true with teenagers. Create an environment where your teenager feels comfortable expressing their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Listen actively without interrupting or judging, and show empathy towards their emotions. When they share their experiences or problems, resist the urge to jump in with solutions immediately. Instead, ask questions to better understand their perspective and offer support. Make it clear that you are always available to talk, regardless of the topic, and avoid criticizing or belittling their thoughts or opinions.
