How to Be Friends with Your Teenage Son?
5. Learn about his friends
Get to know his friends and treat them with the same friendly approach you treat your son. If his friends like you, your son’s attachment towards you will increase manifold. After all, teens are forever pining for acceptance from their friends.
6. Communicate well
Communication is the key to a friendly and healthy mom-son relationship. It is important for you to listen. He will have lots to say but the only reason he isn’t opening up is because no one listens to him. Let him know his opinions and thoughts are important and affect you. Answer his queries with confidence and tell him what is right.
7. Talk to him about relationships and girls
With your teenage son having a lot of questions and issues on relationships and on the opposite sex, no one can help him better than you. Developing a friendly relationship with him will make him less shy and make the conversations more comfortable and fun. Receiving knowledge on a woman’s perspective always helps a guy, after all.
These simple things can go a long way in strengthening your bond with your teenage son.
