Parents Respecting Teens

It's difficult when teenagers are acting rude and uninterested much of the time, for parents to show teens respect. However, we learn respect by being treated respectfully. Take your teenager seriously and be interested in their ideas and opinions. Ask for your teenager's input into major family decisions. Show courtesy and respect to their friends. Support your teen if they are treated disrespectfully or unjustly at a place of business. If they're trying to change a policy, stand behind them. If they're giving a presentation, show interest in their preparation and attend the event. Even if they don't acknowledge it, being treated respectfully and fairly is important to teens. And, it shapes the adult that they are becoming.
