Having some trouble
connecting with your teenager?
00:00:05.37\00:00:07.94
Give music a spin.
Their tastes may shock you,
00:00:07.97\00:00:12.14
and I mean that in a good way.
00:00:12.17\00:00:13.81
Take the time to
really listen with them.
00:00:13.84\00:00:16.31
Ask them why they like certain
songs and styles, instruments.
00:00:16.34\00:00:20.42
Some of what you hear
may be difficult or offensive
00:00:20.45\00:00:23.95
but be gentle and use the time
to learn about their interests
00:00:23.99\00:00:27.59
not project yours.
00:00:27.62\00:00:29.32
You may be surprised
about how much they really know.
00:00:29.36\00:00:32.33
In addition, you'll find that
they may learn to appreciate
00:00:32.36\00:00:35.23
your music choices too,
simply because you took the time
00:00:35.26\00:00:38.63
to care about theirs.
