You have to admit that you never knew another human being could evoke such a broad range of emotions from you. You love your teenager more than anything on the planet, you'd go to the ends of the earth for them (you pretty much already have) but...good God can they ever make you mad! It's like they know just the right amount of tone and attitude to throw in with their emotional meltdown, to bring out the very worst in you.

You can do better. And you can help them do better. Today we're going to talk about how your connection with your teen greatly depends on your awareness and understanding of both your teen's emotions and your own.
