What does your teen want?

The parent and teenager relationship can be complex and confusing. They are angry and upset one moment and happy and loving the next. A teenager is transforming and creating their own identity and parents should recognize the roles in the relationship are shifting.

Parents might be more successful if they offer advice when asked, and making sure the teen really wants it. Most times the teen will talk to the parent because they are looking for support and encouragement instead of actual advice.

This is a significant shift in the parent-teen relationship, and if the parent doesn’t recognize the shift in roles, it can cause a lot of challenges.
