How to help your teenager feel better about themselves?

• Tell them when they get things right.
  
  
• Be specific about what you appreciate.
  
  
• Don’t make a big deal about praise – it’s better to mention it in passing.
  
  
• When your teenager does something right, don’t take the credit away from them.
  
  
• Make it clear you aren’t giving up all your good times for them, so they won’t feel guilty.
