[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old your teen? Mine is 15. I do it about once a month. She knows and hates it. I hate it too actually.[/quote] I heard a PEP coach (whose own children are high school and college) advise that you do it [b]with[/b] your teen. You both start out groaning and joking about how awkward it is, then you flip through the messages and it sparks conversation between the two of you (which will range from the serious to the totally inane). If you manage it right, you bring down the awkwardness level and use it to check in and connect. I'm sure a lot of PEP coach advice is easier said than done...[/quote]
