I think every parent really wants to be able to communicate with her child, but is often unsure how, especially when the child hits adolescence - that period of rebellion. Nonetheless, if there was already a strong bond of trust between parent and child to begin with, it's a bit easier to get through this difficult period.
While I found my children's teen years rather difficult, as most parents do, it was rewarding to hear my kids tell me how different their dad and I were from their friends' parents because we would actually listen and talk to them. That was pretty cool!
