Parenting is one thing, but it also depends on the kid and how his nature is

@applebaj indeed! Parenting has a compounding effect. What you see in your child as a teen has a direct connection to your choices and parenting style when your child was a toddler. Best, Joe Bruzzese

Nice video, Since I am an author of "Connecting With Your Teen". It would be best to ask your teen. Open end questions, to get him or her engage in the conversation.
