A Brilliant Tip for Talking to Teenagers

This summer, I wrote a big salad problem about Botox, but the reader’s comment that I really jumped was about …

… teenagers.

“There are advice here for teenagers who have really stayed with me,” wrote a reader named Kaff. “You are never more excited or more disappointed by the things that they are.

How wise is that? The emotions of a teenager are already everywhere, the highest top! The lowest minimums! – Therefore, they definitely do not need anyone to amplify it. And they shouldn’t feel any additional pressure to talk or promote you. In addition, I love the idea that, as a father, you are helping your child running a marathon holding a signal and giving them water, No running next to them. They can sweat, run, stretch, fail, fall and feel all emotions, and we can be there to witness and support them, but not sweat in the same way.

Before this, sometimes it brought energy to Rah-Rah to the moments of adolescent aging, and was not always appreciated:

Thank you, as always, my teenagers for your patience and leadership.
