[quote=Anonymous]Clear boundaries and expectations. Ask how your communication is being received and if there is something you can do differently. If you helicopter or don’t check in enough. Talking to them when they are most likely to be receptive. My kid does much better before 6pm. 8pm is not the time to address a problem that can wait until the morning. Three positive comments for every criticism/ piece of advice. Actively look for places they are doing well or have made improvements and things they are proud of and comment on them. Save the advice/criticism part for the really important things (aKA choose your battles). Plus, if you start looking for the positives, you see your kid in a more positive light. [/quote]
