How to Repair Your Relationship With Your Kids?

Guide, but don’t control

According to the U.S. Department of Education, maintaining a healthy relationship with your adolescent child means knowing when to enforce rules and when to allow freedom. The easiest way to strike this balance is learning to guide, but not to control. Your child needs to learn to try different things and make mistakes but also needs guidance on how to avoid harmful slip-ups. The U.S. Department of Education recommends asking questions that help your child think about the results of their actions.
