Parent tip
Instill education in the household, and LISTEN to your teen in a NON-JUDGEMENTAL way, and be humorous with your teen! Teens respond well to humor.
David’s key tip for teens
Learn to express yourself in a healthy way by having an adult around you who is willing to listen non judgmentally and gives you the forum to express yourself. If that happens this gives growing confidence and experience that allows you to better communicate with adults later in life.
David’s final KEY tip
Always know who your friends are and don’t worry about people who don’t matter to you. Treat people like you want to be treated, and treat others like they want to be treated. And DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES! Have a blast as a teen, be present, be in the moment, and surround yourself with good friends and family!
