Communication?
Suggestions… if I may be so bold…
Ask, don’t tell Make sure the know that you are proud Let them fail Don’t use empty threats Make sure they understand expectations and that rules/consequences are
clear Monitor their social media, set limits Pick your battles, let the small stuff go, but don’t avoid the big stuff Let them know you care Be honest with them, establish trust Be empathetic, not sympathetic Listen to them, don’t interrupt or give advice, just listen Spend Time Admit your own shortcomings Allow them choices Follow their rules
