Teens complain that parents nag, lecture and attempt to control their lives. Parents complain that teens do not listen and/or change annoying behaviours. Is it possible we talk too much and listen too little in our family relationships? As parents, we all wish to create a safe, strong and positive relationship with teens. In order to accomplish this we must offer messaes that demonstrate respect and a willingness to listen and negotiate. This presentation will present strategies which can influence rather than control teenagers.
