Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents. At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them. Most teens work through this by the age of 16 or 17.
Often teenagers are treated like bigger children, but they will never become and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves. If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it without permission anyway. The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and .
Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and .As a result, teenagers always keep their from their parents. Teens often that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them. Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to their side of any problem and express their point of view.
Thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents. Every parent should try to schedule time to be with their child, like taking a short trip together. This time allows parents to talk and listen without from work or other family members. It might also be good to encourage teens to important issues at dinner. Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives.
A person’s teenage years are a key time for them to identify their own ,like distinguishing good from evil. Handling and improving communication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be for parents and teens alike.

If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time,we would discover—in reviewing them—that the great majority of our 16 never come to pass. This means that most of the time we 17 to worrying,even the constructive(建设性的)kind that prompts us to try to come up with a 18 to what is troubling us,is wasted. 19,we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain,but also 20 valuable minutes and hours that could have been spent elsewhere.

Toscanini looked with total 29 at the man.Then he 30 kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders.“My friend,”the maestro replied,“do not worry about it.The note E-flat does not 31 anywhere in the music that you will be 32 this evening.”
The next time we find ourselves in the middle of 33 about some matter,we might be wise to 34 and ask ourselves what the odds(几率)are of the problem really coming to 35 .We may be able to go on to something more constructive.
