How To Negotiate With Your Teens #10

 “It’s my way or the highway” may be a battle call to some teens. Consider the value of engaging in negotiation instead of battle. Negotiation is a healthy mental exercise that benefits both teens and parents.  It gives you the opportunity to learn what's important to your teenager and why.  Simply put, you'll get to know your child better through your negotiations.  Today we are going to be looking at how we as parents can help teach our teens to negotiate for what they want in a healthy way.
