"Be a good listener. Be enthusiastic. Make the teen feel that their views and contributions are important... Create regular and casual communications through discussion of ideas of books, games, TV shows, etc..."Parents can also keep lines of communication open by respecting a teen's privacy. If he or she shares something in confidence, keep it private - just between you and your child. Source: Edmond Life & Leisure (Edmond, OK)
