Although your relationship with your teenagers may change, it can still be strong. But what can you do to make your relationship with your teenagers strong The following ways may help.
Remember your past self

________
Talk to your teenagers about your problems, and ask for their ideas. By doing so, you can tell them that it’s OK to feel worried and upset, and that it’s a natural part of growing up. Sometimes, they can give you a wonderful answer that you may not think of.

An unforgettable thing
I had an unforgettable thing last summer vacation. I was free on a hot afternoon, so I went to play by the river with my friends. We played hide-and-seek. We had a good time. Then I hid behind some grass by the river. Suddenly I slipped and fell into the river. The water washed me away. Luckily, I was not far from the bank. My friends found a long stick to pull me out. It’s dangerous to play by the river. I’ll never forget the thing.
