Conflict with teenager is not always a bad thing – they are just learning to become independent.
Try to stay calm.
As parents, listen to teenager’s point of view and decide what is worth taking a stand on and what isn’t.
Conflict is normal
Set out clear guidelines about what is acceptable.
Tell teenager where you’re going, who with and when you’ll be back - expect them to do the same.
Teenagers need clear guidelines just as much as younger children - setting boundaries that shows you care.
Give clear instructions
Don’t expect teenagers to agree with everything parents’ say.
The teenage years are a time of testing opinions and people.
Sometimes parents and teenagers have to agree to differ.
Teenager is more likely to respect your views if you respect theirs.
Respect Their Views
Your child is maturing and your relationship may be changing.
Spend time doing everyday things together.
The teenage years are exciting and enjoyable. Have fun - they’ll soon be grown up.
Let them know you will always be there for them.
Spend Time Together
Let your teenager know that you are interested in what they do at home and at school.
Offer support and guidance with school work and revision.
Keep an eye on where they are and who they are with, encourage them to talk about how they feel - but beware of turning interest into pressure.
Show Interest
Teenagers say that their parents do not listen to them.
Let your teenager know that you have time to talk.
Share your values with them but don’t impose them.
If your teenager wants to talk, make time to listen.
Make Time for Talking And Listening
We all need time for ourselves.
Teenagers need their own space, time for themselves and the right not to tell their parents everything about their lives.
Respect your teenager’s right to privacy and try to remember what it was like to be a teenager.
Give Them Space
Giving encouragement and taking an interest in your teenager is as important as praising them.
Praise them for their efforts and let them know when they do something that pleases you.
Don’t be afraid to tell them that you love them, even if you get no response.
Encourage Them
Parents today have a difficult job to do but parents don’t need to be perfect.
Make sure you look after yourself and have people to talk to when you need to.
Try to spend sometime thinking about your own life and priorities.
Look After Yourself
Let them know that you’ve made mistakes and tell them some of the things that you would do differently if you had the chance.
Let them learn from the consequences of their actions - don’t protect them too much.

What Values Are Developed During Adolescence?
During adolescence, we start to form;
a deeper sense of who we are, what we value, and
who we want to be.
We become increasingly sensitive to social feedback and better able to think in abstract and complex ways that help us build a deeper sense of self around these questions related to identity.
