Postpone Discussions With a Grouchy Teen

Often, a teen’s moods are like the weather at the beach. Just when you’re settling in for a sunny day, a storm cloud appears out of nowhere. And here too, the best approach is to head for cover.

Make it a policy not to let your moody teen engage you in an argument. One of you is sure to get your feelings hurt. Instead, practice saying these words: “We’ll talk about it later when we're both feeling more pleasant.”
