This is coming from a teen myself so I may not be qualified to answer this but when your kids get older remember to listen to them. We definitely are not always right but listen to our opinion as equal adults. You don't have to agree with us but just listen. I guarantee it makes your kid view you as a respectful serene human, not just their crazy mom. It's a trend I see to downplay how your kids are feeling or their opinions to make them think whatever they're gong through is not a big deal. However this does not work. It's makes your kid feel isolated.

Hopes this answered your question!
