Praise Your Teen

As difficult as this can be at times, praising your teenager can make a significant difference in your relationship with them.  What parents often struggle with is finding something to praise when there are so many behaviors they would like to see changed.  While this is true and working on the negative behaviors needs to happen ongoing, it is also important that you notice the things they are doing right and the things you appreciate about them.  "Catch Them Being Good!".  Take a few moments and think about something that your teen has done recently that you appreciate or something about them as a person that you appreciate and then think about how you can share this with them.
