[quote=Anonymous]I am very careful to talk to my teens as I wouldn’t friend. By which I mean, I assume the story is exactly as they are telling it and then figure out if they want me to listen or offer advice. If they just want me to listen, but I have real concerns about something, I will bring it up later. As in, “I’ve been thinking about that thing you told me, and I was wondering…” Sometimes they do want advice in the moment, but I make sure before offering- “Do you want to know what I think?” [/quote]
