    Listen Now
    Have you ever thought of taking some time to listen to your teen, rather than demanding that they
    listen to you?There is nothing more destructive to your relationship with your teen than constant lecturing. Instead, take a verbal step backwards – create some space to start listening to your teen.

    Just be quiet, don’t speak! Your teen will think something’s wrong with you – but don’t worry – just look him in the eyes and truly listen.

    Pick a day this week to give listening a try. Don’t flip out, don’t argue. Just keep quiet and be attentive.

    You’ll discover that intentional listening opens up your relationship to a better way of communicating with your teen.
