My research will contain how a parent can have a better way to communicate with a teen. Many parents find it hard to communicate with a teen, because they might have started the conversation in a wrong way like talking while you’re angry with a teen won’t make him obey your orders, for that talking with understanding and listing to a teen feelings is an important factor in a good relationship between the parent and teen.

Try to express your feeling and intentions and inform them that pressure from work and pressure from life forced you to not have a well relationship. Mostly parents try to fix things their own way but this is why it made their teens go a huge step back.
