How to Fix a Bad Relationship with teenagers 1. Set good examples through your actions. Listen attentively and let your teen know your love is unconditional. Resist complaining, nagging or criticizing. 2. Give clear guidelines. Explain the reasons behind them and the consequences of failure to abide by them. 3. If your teen disobeys the guidelines, reaffirm the reasons behind the guidelines and hold him or her responsible for the consequences. |

4. Choose your battles carefully. Is blue hair really worth arguing about? Also, make sure to notice and affirm positive behavior in your teen. 5. Communicate openly about the many peer-related challenges, including alcohol, drugs, smoking and sex. 6. Encourage your teen to get a part-time job to learn financial responsibility. 7. Give your teen space and time to figure things out. Allow him or her to make mistakes. It's part of the learning process. |
