问题     It’s not easy being a teenager—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. A seemingly harmless comment from you can make your adolescent feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood. If your teen has you frustrated, try these tips that offer a commonsense approach to giving your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still there for him when he needs you.
    Expect a lot from your teen, just not everything. Work on one aspect of a teen’s behavior at a time. For example, if you’ve recently laid down the law on curfew and your child is just starting to get home on time consistently, it’s probably not the best time to focus on getting him/her to watch less TV. Overlook minor transgressions (越轨行为) in one area while attending to another—trying too hard to modify several aspects of your adolescent’s behavior will over whelm and frustrate you both. Save your absolute, nocompromise positions for health and safety issues, such as drug use or reckless driving, and consider everything else somewhat negotiable.
    Offer your availability always, but your advice only when asked. If your child is reluctant to discuss a particular topic, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. Too much nagging (唠叨) will turn into a power play between you, which will only increase the likelihood that he’ll keep his mouth shut. Instead, let him at tempt to solve things by himself—a sure sign to him that you support his growing independence and a great way for him to build selfesteem. At the same time, remind him that you’re always available should he seek advice or assistance. [br] According to the second paragraph, parents should ______.
