Communication between Parents and Teens

Communication with parents was one of the first things people have done since when they were born. Communicating and listening to the child is a parent’s duty because it lets the child know they are there for them. Conversations ramble as teens look to their parents for answers. As teenagers, communication with parents will change dramatically, unless the teen is well discipline. Conversations between parents and teens can be good or bad, it all depends on how the conversation is approached and on the attitude of both parents and teens. Some teens have a lot of attitude towards their parents when talking; their emotions kick in when things don’t go their way and arguments starts. Conversations teens have with their parents differ through conversations they have with their friends. But teens mostly turn to their parents when they have big problems. Sometimes the advice parents give their kids aren’t true, but it can help them resolve their problem. Tones in conversations indicate the teen’s attitude, and helps the parents identify how the teenager feels
Arguing is the most common form of communication with parents when things don’t go the way teenagers wants things to. When teens come up with things to do, they mostly have to have their parent’s permission for approval. When a parent says no sometimes it is because they get worry and don’t want their child getting hurt, teenagers doesn’t see possibilities like parents do and get upset and angry. When in an argument a teen will use whatever he/she can come up with to break their parent so they can get this or do that. For example if a teen knew about a secret, he/she would use it against his/her parent, that way the parent will just say yes and can avoid talking about the secret. ...

... as bad but both parents and teens have problems that discussions can help resolve them, or just make them feel better.
Communication between parents and teens can clear up a lot of problems and can help fix a lot of personal things, or it can make things worse depending on the attitude addresses by the speaker. A teenagers attitude signals parents how the teen feels about the situation he/she’s in, and the parents attitudes signals how they feel when talking too. At times, communicating with friends work better than with parents, and for parents talking to their friends work better than when talking to their teen kid(s). Most of everything teens go through, their parents have already gone through and depending on how the parents address the advice to their teen, their advice can be the most helpful if spoken in a positive way, but if not it could also be the worst.
