When a parent allows themselves to be open about learning from their teenager, rather than constantly imposing their ideas on them, a parent is able to see a very fresh take on life. We are able to see a newness in age-old aspects of life, conflict, turbulence, inner confusion, that our teenagers are going through in the moment. This means if we have an open dialog with our teenager, and they feel comfortable talking to us about how they feel about the world and the struggles they are going through, we are able to re-exam our lives and how we live on a day-to-day basis. What we may be able to create as a stronger reality for ourselves, while we watch someone who is going through a great time of transition.
