Читать книгу Yes, Please. Whatever!: How to get the best out of your teenagers - Penny Palmano - Страница 38

Whether they are going to watch TV or just chill out and listen to music, allocate a room for them, perhaps your teenager’s bedroom if it’s big enough or, if you’re feeling generous, the sitting room. If it’s going to be the bedroom, help your teenager pick up the clothes off the floor and give them some extra cushions or pillows to make it more comfortable for everyone.

Reassure them that you will not just barge in to the room, and that if you need to speak to them you will knock and wait, so under no circumstances will they lock their door. Discuss how loud they can have their music which will be acceptable to all. Explain to younger children that their older sibling will be having friends over and they can say hello, but they are to leave them in peace, and suggest that you can do something together.
