　　Every parent knows it’s important to have good communication with their teens—actual conversations with plenty of back and forth. The problem, of course, is that most teenagers don’t like to talk to their parents. I usually, we’re at fault. We can’t just let them talk. There are far too many important life lessons to impart(传授).

　　It might go something like this: Jacques and his father are riding in the car. Out of the blue Jacques starts talking.

　　I’ve been thinking. I don’t know, maybe I’m going to become an airplane pilot. Or maybe I’ll work at Burger Barn and always live at home with you and mom. Or maybe…”

　　“You know, Jacques, you’re going to have to start thinking seriously about what you want to do. You’re going to be out of high school in a couple years.”

　　“What is his problem?” Jacques says to himself.” “I was trying to tell him what I’m thinking about, but all he wants to do is to give me another lecture.”

　　Jacques and his father sit without speaking for the rest of the drive.

　　Our comments worries, warnings and lessons—they seem important. We want to guide our kids down the best possible path. And if we hear something from them that seems to beg for our important guidance, how can we not give it? But often the only thing that our advice accomplishes is to kill the conversation.
