17.Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen,you're going through big changes physically and mentally.Your interests are increasing.(36)F Here is the challenge:Kids need to explore the world in new ways,and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world.These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses.Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided.But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships,you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance,try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry,tired,distracted or hungry.A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed.Timing is everything.If the conversation begins to turn into an argument,you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.(37)BListen to what your parents are saying,and repeat it back to them.This shows them that you're listening.(38)A.Respect is the building block of good communication.People who respect each other and care about each others'feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.(39)EHow do you build trust?Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do.Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships.Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-maker-they're interestingpeople who like to watch movies and go shopping-just like their teenagers!
