- Talking to adults can be daunting for some teens. Talking about their interests is important e.g. asking what is happening in their favourite T.V programme, how their favourite sports team is doing, what do they plan doing with their friends etc.
- Often teenagers will enjoy computer games. These usually involve other worlds and using their imagination, e.g. minecraft. You can talk about how they are going to complete the quest and what they have to do next.
- Completing a joint task with your teenager is a great way to develop their problem solving and negotiating skills, e.g. baking, building furniture etc.
