This Parenting Expert Is Discussing The Top 3 Things She Thinks Your Teen Wishes You Knew

Number two: stop pretending that you were the perfect teenager. Your kids want to know the real you so they feel safe enough to share what’s going on with them.

“Having a selective memory about your past or trying to protect them by not telling them all the crappy things you did, that is not building trust with them, and they won’t tell you anything,” elaborated Aly.

Number three is explicitly geared toward teen girls. If you’re a mother, support your daughter in finding their voice with their father.

Make sure they are in an environment where it’s okay for them to speak up in front of their fathers. Then, they will grow up knowing they are allowed to say “no” to men instead of submitting to them. Otherwise, they will be afraid to stand up to men in the future.
