Let them know you love them.
Your kid may not seem to realize he’s turned into a monstrous malcontent, but deep down, he knows. And he’s probably wondering whether you can possibly still love him after your daily disagreements. (You may have doubts yourself sometimes!) You can let your teen know you love them in lots of little ways: by preparing the chiles rellenos you know he loves, or by suggesting an outing to see the latest action movie (even if you’d prefer a rom-com).
