IM Saying It

 

Living well expert, Sandra Magsamen says the basics to connecting apply at any age. Hug, sing, dance and tell your child you love them. Even if your teen acts as if they can't stand it, she promises you it's something they love and need. Use these other suggestions as ways to connect with your teenager.

IM Saying It

Learn how to text your child on their computer or cell phone. Let's face the fact that our kids are communicating in ways we never did growing up. We have to learn their language if we want to really keep connected. Teach yourself how to instant message (IM), text message, e-mail and send photos over the phone and the Web.
