Tip # 19. Never Lose Communication

Never Lose Communication with your teenager.

There are many ways to communicate with your son:

Talking, Texting and the old fashioned way of writing notes.

If talking does not seem to be opening up a conversation with your son, don’t give up. There will be stages when chatting with parents is not # 1 on a teenager’s list of things to do BUT it is still # 1 on your list.

Go back to Tip # 1. Find him doing something right. Make a mental note of it and then write him a note. Place the note somewhere in his room, on his computer, on his pillow or in his bathroom. Finding the note later in the day will still affirm his good action and your positive presence in his life.

There is no limit on how many notes you can write.

Everyone likes and needs to have their actions acknowledged and appreciated.

There you go. Another lesson for today. Now, go and love your son in your own special way. Some days are long but, trust me, the years will just disappear.

Love,

MarnaKay
