[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice is keep them occupied and be around a lot. Being around a lot is not always glamorous because at this age they can at times be pretty surly and unpleasant and act like the last thing on earth they desire is for you to be around a lot. And also talk when they want to talk. It won't be your timetable. One consistently wants to talk to me right about when I'd like to be really going to bed. But I talk.[/quote] I agree with this, but a teen can have all of this and still rebel. For some its just a matter of severity. My son really put us through it, but I was home every day (worked full time from the house), and very involved. We talked our heads off, not diatribe's, but discussions. I listened to them as well. He still rebelled. I am grateful that it wasn't worse, but it was still tough. [/quote] This is so important. At the end of the day, kids are people who make their own choices. [/quote]
