Communication Tips
Here are some suggestions about making your talk with your parents turn out for the best.
Be honest. If you're always honest, your parents will be likely to believe what you say. If you sometimes hide the truth, parents will have a harder time to believe what you tell them.
Be brave and start talking. It's easy to say "Hi, Mum!" or "Dad, can you pass the potatoes?" Let's face it. You will feel embarrassed when talking about something personal, but your parents know you quite well. They were your age once, too! So don't let a little embarrassment stop you. It's OK to go ahead and share what's on your mind.
If you have a disagreement, can you consider things from your parents, points of view? If you can, telling your parents you understand their views and feelings helps them be willing to understand yours, too.
Try not to argue. Using a friendly and respectful tone makes your parents more likely to listen to you and take what you say seriously.
What if it doesn't work? If you still can't talk to your parents, seek other adults, help. Then follow all the tips above to make you communicate with that person well.
A. Explain your situation. B. Try to understand them. C. If you lie, they'll find it hard to trust you. D. Parents are the most important people in your life. E. But it can be harder to start talking about personal topics. F. It also makes it more likely that they'll talk to you in the same way. G. Find a relative or a teacher who will listen to, understand and care about you. |
