How to Talk to Tweens

by David Meyer

Michelle Icard, author of 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success and an NBC parenting expert, offers straightforward, workable advice for communicating with and understanding your tween.

Michelle Icard, NBC parenting commentator and author of 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success, provides guidance on conducting conversations with adolescents on parent and child relationships, independence, friendship, creativity, self-care, fairness, technology, criticism, hard work, money, sexuality, reputation, impulsivity and helping others.

Listen

Give tweens space, Icard advises. Talk with, not at them. To show your tweens you trust them, withhold advice until they ask for it.
