Are you stifling them, giving them room to develop or just completely ignoring them? Our parenting skills should help you strike the right balance!

As parents it's sometimes difficult to know where you stand with teenagers? As children they looked up to you for everything, now they want you to drop them round the corner so you won't embarass them in front of their friends! But they still need love and support and someone to listen to them.
