How to deal with your teen

From the website http://www.webchats.tv

When your child reaches puberty, the rules start changing. They can start getting stroppy, wanting to stay out late and hanging around with the wrong crowd. But how do you manage to remain firm about their behaviour without them rebelling even more? Finding effective and mutually beneficial ways to discipline teenagers without breaking down communication, can be one of the most difficult parts of being a parent. Our Web TV show with renowned author and parenting expert Suzie Hayman can help.

Suzie will explain why having boundaries are so important and how you can work with your teen to set guidelines on what is acceptable in the household. What's more, she'll tell you how to create a happy medium for both you and your teenager as they take further steps towards adulthood.

As well as providing invaluable advice, Suzie will be taking your questions live online and telling you about www.gotateenager.org.uk, an online resource that will help you help your teens even more. Log on to the show for the full story.

As a teen that dislikes their parents i have to say that family dinners suck, when asked a question i either lie or say very short answers. She is absolutely right when she says "I would like to tell myself what to do", my friends aren't the most important people in my life, I am. I'm only with them because its better than being home and through them i can gain access to new activities. Most of my friends don't do things that harm other people or their stuff.
