[quote=Anonymous]Mom of 2 teens and a 20 year old. Be kind and friendly to your teens’ friends. Get to know the friends. Be supportive and interested in the friends. Talk to your teens. Stop lecturing or nagging. Ask how things are going on school, with friends, with classes. Be open and receptive. Work on your neutral, expressionless face so that your teen won’t be startled by your loom or response to something he or she might tell you. If you can remember a relevant situation or story from your own teen years, tell it. Joke around with your teens. Tell funny stories about your most embarrassing moment as a teen or the most awkward situation you experienced. Laugh together. I watch certain movies w each DC just to enjoy it together. Last night, my teenagers cheered me on as I threw spoiled tangerines into the kitchen trash, basketball style from halfway across the kitchen. Do t be afraid to be a total goofball in the privacy of your own home, in front of your kids. [/quote]
