I'm not a perfect parent and some self- help-books doesn't actually help at all. Cases vary and there's no single formula. So how do you deal with an emotional rampage of your teenager? Think about the times when you're a teenager. How would you like to be comforted by your parents? You are the answer to
your own dilemma. I hate drama, and I don't want to be confronted like I'm a juvenile delinquent. I would only open up if I see trust, love, and care minus the sugar coating. Sometimes, the problem with us parents is we forget that we were once kids. Deal with your children the way you wanted to treated. Talk to them, bond with them. Don't push them on the edge, for it will only stir up their emotional flame. Make yourself available anytime they need you.
