Connecting with Your Teen – Show #42
At long last I’ve come out of hibernation with a new podcast for you! This week I’m sharing an interview I did with Katy Lee when I was a guest on her Adventures in Parenting podcast. Katy is the mother of 3 teens and we had a very indepth conversation about how to stay connected and involved in our teens’ lives.
Some of the topics we covered included:
- how to open up the lines of communication when your teen just wants to be alone
- how to create an open and non-judgemental environment where your teen will feel comfortable sharing thoughts, ideas, and feelings
- how to discuss tough topics such as sex, drugs, and alcohol
- and the Do’s and Don’ts of conversing with your teen
Our good friend and author Vanessa Van Petten from On Teens Today also joins us with some tips on choosing the best “car music” that teens and parents both can agree on. Listen in for her great advice!
If you’re tackling a tough challenge with your own teen, drop me a note or leave a comment here and I’ll try to address your concerns in a future episode.
