Therapy Helps Your Teenager Learn Better Communication Skills For Lasting, Caring, Adult Relationships
Even our closest friends, family members, parents, and siblings cannot read our thoughts. Occasionally, you and your teen may be so connected that you finish each other’s sentences and know exactly what each other is thinking. However, at other times, your teen may show their distance, refuse to talk, and feel misunderstood. During these times, it is helpfully to teach your teen how to take responsibility for their lack of communication.
Mind Reading and Assuming = More Confusion
Next, gently remind your teenager that no one can read their mind or know all of their thoughts. For instance, you can say, “Since others cannot read your mind, it is really important to you directly tell me, as your parent, and your friends how you are feeling and exactly what you want or need to feel supported and loved.
