Teenagers...

I am the stepmom to a 15 year old girl. How do you deal with the “I know everything” attitude?

Hey @Mandy-C23 

 

Some conversations with teenagers are certainly really tough and it sounds like chats with your 15 yr old step daughter are getting harder at the moment. Have you had a chance to talk to her about this?

 

We have some content about effective communication with teens that might have some useful tips in it, do you feel like this is something that comes up in all conversations you have with her? Or just around certain topics?

It also can be nice to reinforce connection and do something nice together when there is a bit of conflict. Is there something nice you two could do together that would be enjoyable?
