Our children are in their teens and we have a great relationship. One thing I have learned to do is keep the communication lines open. This has proved invaluable over the years. We let the children talk about anything they want and they keep us informed of the things happening in their lives.
The most important thing is to listen without judgment. This is not always easy, especially for me, but we do it. When there is a problem we will sit down and help them solve it. Usually they figure things out on their own with a little help from us. Nothing is taboo to talk about.
