Building a good relationship with your teenager can be hard and sometimes stressful. Try to create a friendly and understanding atmosphere where your teen feels comfortable talking to you. Treat them with respect and kindness, even if you don't always agree. It's important to recognize their independence, responsibilities, and opinions. Offer guidance and encourage them to take ownership of their actions. If a discussion starts to turn into an argument, it's okay to take a break and come back to it later. Remember, your actions speak louder than words, so show them trust, respect, and healthy ways to deal with problems. Changes are a normal part of this time in their life, so take care of yourself and you'll get through it together.
