If your teen likes hockey, take him or her to a hockey game
If s/he play hockey, watch him or her play - in a non-critical way
If your teen likes hip hop, skateboarding, or whatever his/her interest is, take a moment or plan a few hours to do something he or she finds interesting
Go to the movies together and/or rent one – take turns choosing the movie
Continue to invite, not demand your teen to be involved in family activities or errands
Not a lot of words need to be spoken. It is being together that counts!
