Give your child reasonable, firm boundaries - and stick to them. Get out regularly with one or two friends – or just talk on the phone. Remember, if you can, your own experiences as a teenager. This can help you understand the turmoil and changes going on, physically and emotionally, as your child tries to establish his or her own identity. When you or your child is angry, leave the room, and control your Breathing. Arrange to discuss the current problem later. It takes about half an hour to calm down after an upset, so say to yourself “RELAX” or “CALM DOWN”, drop your shoulders and use the WASP technique. Exercise is a great way to relieve tension, so take a brisk walk if you can and practise the R for L exercises regularly.
