[quote=Anonymous]This is actually a really good question. Obviously there is no one parenting bible that works for all kids. But I actually find now that my kid is a teen that certain “gentle” concepts are actually more important- because it is a more emotionally tumultuous time and they are less attached to parents. So those times that they do want mom - or when we have a conflict - it is much more important to be warm and gentle to maintain the connection and a positive household. To the extent that “gentle” means validating a child’s emotions, I think that is also even more important for a teen if you want them to listen to you and tell you what is going on. [/quote]
