I've got a 15-year-old who has been really moody and angry lately, and I'm not sure how to handle it. There haven't been any big changes at home or school, but it feels like every conversation turns into a confrontation. I want to support them and help them work through whatever they're feeling, but I also need to set some boundaries because their behavior is starting to impact everyone in the household.
Does anyone have tips or strategies that have worked for dealing with an angry teenager? How can I open up a line of communication without coming off as overbearing or intrusive? Any advice on finding that balance between giving them space and being there for them? Thanks!
