Own Your Mistakes to Build Trust
Effective communication with teenagers is crucial, as they are perceptive and aware of their surroundings. Acknowledging mistakes as a parent fosters open dialogue and trust.

Additionally, resolving conflicts in front of kids allows them to witness healthy reconciliation, reinforcing the idea that disagreements can be handled constructively.
