Are you frustrated by a teenager who does not listen to you?\u00a0 You are not alone.\u00a0 Want to do something about it?\u00a0<\/p>\n

In part one I gave you the word “talk”.\u00a0 Not talk as in “tell your teen what to do”, but talk as in “discuss life” …even the goofy and odd things.\u00a0 Develop habits of talking with your teen so that when the important, even confrontational, discussions occur\u00a0the doors of communication are open.<\/p>\n

In part two the word is “listen”.\u00a0 Sounds messed up doesn’t it?\u00a0\u00a0 Well, we, like it or not, train our teens how to listen.\u00a0 We must model what we expect.\u00a0 Fact is, we do model what we expect…whether right or wrong.\u00a0\u00a0 This 2 minute video should help.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
