Discuss More Than the Basics With Your Teen

Most days, conversations between teens and parents center on passing basic information back and forth about topics such as meetings, appointments, mealtimes or homework. This kind of talk is necessary, but it’s not what brings families closer together.

At least once a day, make time to ask your teen about something that is not critical to the moment. Ask about a feeling, an interest or an idea that she might have. You may learn more about your teen, and she’ll know you care what she thinks.
