When I was a kid, the music I liked drove my parents crazy. They couldn’t understand why I liked what they called “noise.”

You might not like the music your teen listens to, either. But I meet a lot of parents who make a big deal out of a small issue. They major on the minors. Even though you may not like a particular type of music… step back and take stock. Is the choice of music… or whatever else you’re dealing with today… the thing that should fracture your relationship?

It’s amazing how your teen’s taste will change over time. Before long, they might even like much of the same music you and I do. So… make sure you’re focusing on the majors. Not the minors!
