How do you remember the world of high school and how you navigated it? As teens and children head back to school, parents and caregivers may find it hard to believe how fast time flies, both in terms of watching children grow and in terms of observing what’s different for today’s teens.
Today in The Conversation Canada, Lindsey Jaber of the University of Windsor writes about parents and caregivers supporting teens’ transition to high school. She suggests five key ideas to keep in mind when reflecting on talking with teens, including some themes to cover.
She writes: “Trying to talk with your teen can sometimes be a source of exasperation and frustration. Some parents and caregivers find that the child they used to communicate with so easily now responds in one-word utterances or even nonverbal gestures. However you engage with your teen, they must know that you care and are listening to what they say.”
