    97: The Surprising Key to Less Conflict with Your Teen | LDS Parenting

    Conflict with your teenager doesn't have to be your normal. If you've ever found yourself thinking, Why won't they just listen? or Why can't they see things my way? you're not alone. Many of us carry around an invisible "manual" for the people we love. We have unspoken expectations for how our teens should behave, communicate, make decisions, and respond to us.
