It is important to have good communication between the parent and the teen. Sometimes if you don't communicate correctly, it can lead to miscommunication and also some tension between the teen and parent. You wouldn't want the parent to take something you said out of conception. Sometimes the teen tries to speak their mind but the miscommunication just makes it worse. It is important to listen and also have a good form of communication, whether is be speaking or writing.

Communication advice for parents would be to just listen to the teen. Most of the time that is the main reason for miscommunication between the teen and parent. Parents sometimes take things out of hand instead of handling the situation correctly, causing the teen more stress and making the situation worse for both the parent and teen.

As for the teen, sometimes listening to the parent and then speaking is a better way communication. Parents like to be heard, just like teens. Teens should always let the parent speak first, and then address the situation in a calm manner. This makes the chance for miscommunication less likely and also can create a nice bond between the teen and parent.
