Teens Need of Privacy
Parents should know today that their teens will not tell you explicitly that they need sufficient privacy. This privacy can be demanded by teens in various way be it when they are with friends or watching television or just talking to a friend on the phone. Never try to rummage the personal space of your teens and deteriorate your relationship.
Talking About School Time

If you as parents will not give them enough time to be heard, this relationship will form alienated distances and the teens will not be able to share problem in future as well. Avoid jumping to advise unless your teens have had their share of talk.
Take In Confidence If Teen Is Dating
Your teens may be dating someone even if you have stated clearly they aren’t allowed to. Teens are often afraid to disclose their friendships to parents if parents show their dislike at the pre mature stage. Do not let them be in a difficult situation where they hide about their relationship. Instead, make your relationship a strong one with them so that they can at least talk about their relationship and then you can be in a position to tell them if they are in a right relationship or not.
Know About Bad Grades
Teens often hide their bad grade sheet from their parents. Parents should know that this occurs initially due to immense pressure being put on the teens. No wonder all parents want the best of their child but if they are afraid to lose in front of their parents, they will never be able to win too.

This kind of education is extremely important, hence, it will build a trust worthy relationship among the teens and parents.
