Discover a Common Interest With Your Teen

By contributor,

It's easy to find things to do with younger children. Toddlers and preschoolers simply enjoy being with Mom or Dad . . . doing what they're doing.
But as children grow, their interests change. So must our time with them. Parents of teens need to find new ways to talk, listen and just be together with their children.

To continue to build your connection to your teen, find something you both share an interest in. Maybe it's playing a game or collecting something. Perhaps you can take a course or pursue a new hobby together and both learn a new skill.
