  Expert Advice:


"A key part of parents’ job involves teaching children and teens their best, their strengths, so they grow up with a positive sense of themselves, with high self-esteem. People go numb from the lack of appreciation and don’t even realize that they give up hope. They don’t realize how much stronger and happier they can be with a good supply of appreciation coming to them and from them."

Linne Bourget, M.A., M.B.A., Ph.D., “Dr. Appreciation”
 

  Expert Advice: 


"Learn how to listen. No one can tell you what is troubling your child better and more accurately than your child. Maintaining a listening attitude and showing an active interest in hearing what your child has to say on a day-to-day basis will help you to listen and your child to open up in times of stress. Listening to your teen on a regular basis will also give you a standard for distinguishing between your child’s normal concerns and bigger troubles."
