I am a mom that soon, will bring up a teenager. As I observed, teens (even kids) these days give more attention to phones, computer games and hanging out with friends rather than cleaning up their room. Sometimes they conveniently forget the curfew given to them. This sometimes leads disagreement. If you’re one of those parents facing such problem in dealing or bringing up with your teen, tips in here would be of help.
Establish firm guidelines relating to alcohol, nicotine, drugs, companionship, use of time and energy, application to school studies, and faithfulness to worship
If a disagreement or disobedience occurs, try to keep a civil demeanor to avoid conflict that may escalate and create a further hurt.
Do not talk out teen matters when in a rush. Instead, find a convenient time to talk out details like going out for breakfast or dinner together.
Prioritize major and minor issues. Heavy ones must be dealt ahead than those minors or daily nuisance.

These great tips. Listening is also very important. I always let my teens talk first and tell me what's bothering them, before I say my piece. It always works for me.
