Listen to Your Child

Sometimes, you must wait for your teen to initiate a conversation about what he is feeling. When this happens, stop what you are doing and really listen. Listen to his point of view, even if it is difficult to hear. Express interest without being intrusive and wait until he is finished talking before you respond. Repeat what you heard him say to ensure that you understood him correctly.
