their teen's thinking about their

timelines for their teens "be okay" parent who lets
when they cannot anything slide. Even
follow it too. though this type of parent

TYPE OF PARENTS

THAT A TE
EN WANTS

The listener who does not

strict like the boss, but EMOTIONS

also not always be okay

like the loosey-goosey.
These parents let their
teens voice their opinions
and have options, but they
still lead and direct their
children. They always
listen to their teens first
before they make a
decision.
Teens need some time to
connect their emotional system
and their logical system, so they
often experience mood swings or
wave emotions.
How does a parent overcome
this?
A parent should stay calm when
a teen is experiencing wave
emotions. If the parent is fighting
back or mad, the teen will think
that the parent is yelling at her.
