They have lots of friends, they need parents who will reign them in when they step out of line. Humour and lots of it is needed as they will test every limit! If a teenager has one "good adult" (i.e. someone that gives them time and attention, then they will feel supported. This can be a relative, friends older sibling, a teacher, mentor etc who takes notice in them without judging them. I think as adults we should remember how wonderful teenagers and how privileged we are to get to watch them grow and bloom into consider adults!

re : How to get on with teenagers? 23/12/2020 12:10 - Teenage Issues ----------------------------------- The best way to get along with teenagers is to make them feel that you understand them... and that you will always be by their side. It is also best to make sure that you always ask him/her about school, her/his feelings, or even the simplest thing. But be careful no to appear annoying. Basically let them feel that you care.
