How to Tame a Wild Parent
From the excellent new paperback “Teens Ask Deepak: All the Right Questions” by Deepak Chopra.

Do not give them reason to worry.

See things from their point of view.

Give them the benefit of the doubt.

Make housework a little easier.

Be responsible for your own schedule.

Take care of your health.

Make a few sacrifices of time and effort.

Show that you care about the sacrifices they’ve made for you.
