a very conplicated question. one of the best pieces of advice i have been given is to always make sure what you have to say is 140 characters or less otherwise they'll only listen to the first part |

If your teen won't listen to you, try designing and releasing a cool indie game instead, where some of the in-game instructions say what you want to say "Good job defeating that dragon with your cool dance moves!" *animation* "Oh jeez, now we've got a wyvern approaching, she'll eat all the farmer's sheep. It would help out village a lot if you would go clean your room and tell your dad how school was today, then challenge this creature to another dance-off." |

We have changed the wifi password and wont tell you what it is until you explain whatever is going on with you and your boyfriend Mike. We're here to listen and we love you. But we can't help unless you talk to us. The password contains both alpha and numeric characters so you have no chance of GUESSING IT! Tacos for dinner, love. |

Probably brush up on your skills and own them in thier online game of choice, and tell them that they have to follow your rules now in a pile of shame. I dont have kids or know how this works but that seems right.

Some day every parent is going to have to deal with that subject. You know the one I'm talking about. One day every parent will have to sit their child down and have a frank discussion about big dick daddy dongle's dongarium + "big rear end" + "big ol' rear end" : $3.69

can you try like a teenager? lie like a teenager? cry like a teenager? vie like a teenager? get high like a teenager? lay down and die like a teenager? if you answered "no" to the any of the above, well, you're not qualified to talk to your teenage son or daughter. call the cabal at FUTRSX MIND DR@GZ to do it for you. ---------------- |

Sit them down with a serious and yet not stern tone. Hand them a spoon and ask them to hold it. Thank them then talk about whatever serious issue you have. They will be too confused by the spoon to fight you. The key is to remain serious and make sure that you do not laugh at all unless relevant to the conversation. You ignore the spoon.

As a responsible parent I of course installed the Uber app on all my children's phones. Where I excel as a parent is I got my Uber license and drive them around and charge them, thereby teaching them the value of money, how to be responsible with needing a ride someplace, plus their mother and I know where they are and who they're with

paradoxically, teenagers seem to like puberty, but hate talking about it. so you can throw them off by starting every serious interaction with something loud and fast like "HAVE YOUR BALLS DROPPED YET I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THEM!" and then quickly tossing in the actual subject of what you want to talk about. "HAVE YOUR BALLS DROPPED YET I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THEM! Also, your grandpa is coming to visit this weekend." "HAVE YOUR BALLS DROPPED YET I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THEM! Also, we're going out and you need to babysit your younger siblings. There's pizza money on the counter." ""HAVE YOUR BALLS DROPPED YET I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THEM! The coach says your grades are awful and you might be cut from the team!" They'll be too embarrassed and abashed to automatically argue with you, and then you win. ---------------- |

a good way to connect with your teen is to describe things as "dope". it's teenage slang that means you think something is good

One way to talk to your son or daughter would be "WHAT THE HECK IS OUR WI FI PASSWORD AGAIN DAMMIT" or "WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU KIDS SCORE ME BETTER WEED" or "DO I LOOK LIKE I'M MADE OF BITCOINS!" (sorry for all the yelling)

our teens today are into razorblade motorcycles, neon sparkoff music, Rambo games, TV hamburgers, and horny movies. All under a star wars spiderweb sky of perpetual flaming night. try connecting with today's teen around these subjects and remember, if you ain't getting into trouble, then you ain't doing something wrong. ---------------- |

"Son I'm about to show you something that will change your life forever..." "Yes, dad?" "Turn your phone off, this is something far more complicated than a facebook algorithm could ever figure out." *Turning phone off* "Okay dad I'm ready." *Dad opens the hood of a broken car*: "Alright son I need 3 theories on why this car won't start. Accuracy isn't important. Go, go, go." |

I always fly a drone into his room and filter my voice to make it sound more robotic. He finds the soulless droning of my voice and the thrumming of the rotary blades to be comforting enough to bare his soul, and with an onboard camera i can send the video file directly to the therapist as well.

steampunk all the way need your teen to vacuum? glue some gears and poo poo to your vacuum cleaner, they will want to use it because it looks cool kid needs to study harder? glue gears to textbook, BAM they need a new iphone to reassert their social status? glue some gears to their old iphone, they'll be the envy of their peer group once you know the formula, there's no problem you can't solve quickly and cheaply, esp. if you buy gears and glue in bulk
