How to Talk to Your Parents

You need to talk to your parents about some things, like curfews and rides. But maybe you don't like to turn to them for personal or social advice. You might be surprised if you give them a try.

“Nobody is going to care about and love you with the intensity of your parents -- even when you’re trying to push away from them,” says Kathy McCoy, MD, a former feature editor of Teen magazine. “As intense and wonderful as friendships can be -- and some of them are for life, but most of them aren’t -- you can count on your parents when your friends might flake on you.”

Talking to your parents doesn't mean you're acting like a kid again. "You can ask their opinion and you don’t have to accept everything they say," McCoy says.

Talking Tip 1: Engage in Small TalkTry to talk to your parents a bit every day about little things -- the dog, your baseball game, what’s for dinner. This keeps you connected, so moving on to a big topic isn’t so difficult.

Talking Tip 2: Send Out “Trial Balloons”When you want to talk about a difficult subject, sometimes it’s easier not to dive in headfirst, McCoy says. “You might say, ‘Most of my friends are having sex,’ or even ask your mother, ‘Do you remember what it was like when you were just starting to change? Did it feel like everyone else was growing up faster?’”

Talking Tip 3: Know What You Want to AccomplishDo you have some bad news to break to your parents? Do you need their permission to do something? Or do you just want them to listen to you, without offering any advice? Try writing down for yourself what you want from the conversation. That will help you let your parents know what you need.

Talking Tip 4: Consider Talking to One ParentIf it’s difficult to bring up a touchy topic like sex, discuss it with the parent you feel most comfortable and open with.

Talking Tip 5: Pick Your BattlesConversations always go better when they don’t become fights. “If everything is a crisis or battle, you and your parents will get ‘battle fatigue,’” McCoy says. “If you go along with their limits most of the time, then ask for an exception -- to stay out later or do something new, for example -- you have a much better chance of having them say ‘yes.’”

Talking Tip 6: Pick the Right Time and PlaceIt’s not a great idea to give your parents bad news when they’re rushing off to work. Talking in the car when you're doing errands can be a good time. And if you’re angry, wait until you cool off.Go for a run, cry, or hit a punching bag or pillow first.
