What happened to my little girl?

When teen attitudes and sarcasm drive a wedge in the relationship, it can make connections seemingly impossible at times. I work with parents who are having a difficult time getting through to their tweens and teens when they wonder what happened to their silly little girl or their jumping jellybean son who now retreat to the bedroom and shut the door.

Snarky rude comments from your child can leave you in disbelief. Their fight to have last word may render you feeling inadequate. But not for long. Respectable communication between your child and you can be achieved in these simple steps.

1. Understanding what your child is really saying.

2. Understanding the root cause of the behavior.

3. Choose the best response you feel is right for the situation.
