Trouble with your Teen? Are you frustrated, worried or concerned with/about your teenager? Not sure what is going on, but you know something isn't right? We all deal with issues during adolescence, but how do you know if this is just a piece of the regular process or if there is something bigger bothering and affecting your child? I believe that the teen years are the most difficult, because it is a time when there are so many changes, issues and pressures, but kids are least prepared and have not developed proper coping skills. Small slights seem insurmountable to them now, but some may impact them for the rest of their lives.
Communication is difficult in any relationship, but even harder between a teenager and parent as your child tries to become independent while still dependent on you. My job is to get you both talking...the same language...so that your relationship becomes closer, not more frayed and distant especially before they are off to college or on their own.
I undertand your concerns. I understand their issues. Many times it is not the obvious symptoms you see. Let me help you both understand each other's language. Let's stop the fighting (or ignoring)...Give me a call...Let's figure out what's really bothering them and get you both talking now.
