How to defuse arguments with your truculent teen
It’s useful to remember that your own behaviour can improve or worsen an aggressive situation, so it’s important to be a good role model for your teen.
If you act aggressively but tell your teenager not to, they will not listen. It’s also helpful to remember that their anger is often based on fear that they’re losing control.
