The teenage years can be turbulent times, with many new stresses and challenges along the way. Spending more time talking to friends and less time talking to parents is a totally normal part of teenagers establishing that independence. ๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ด๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ต๐บ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ข๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ. Parents who are interested in them, who care about them, and who really understand them.โฃ

If you can find a way to consistently talk to your teen, it shows that you are interested in their life and that you care about how they are thinking and feeling. This also provides a vital balance against the uncertainties and insecurities they can face when they are away from home.โฃ
