• 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 they try to establish their own identity.

• When either you or your teenager is angry, arrange to discuss the current problem later. It takes half an hour to calm down after an upset, so use the Emergency Stop technique. Exercise is a great way to relieve tension, so take a brisk walk, if you can.

• Try to think differently about your teenager – realise they are trying to be independent. They may well be confused and insecure.

• Think of one good quality or strength your teenager has.

• Give your teenager reasonable, firm boundaries.
