Ever wish your daughter would knock off all the chatter, chatter, chatter… and quit all the silly dramatic girl talk?

If your daughter is a drama queen … let me challenge you to do something counter-intuitive:  stop, listen, and be grateful that she’s sharing with you.

Listening to your teen can go a long way in developing a strong relationship.  If your teen becomes a little annoying when she shares openly with you, and you miss it by checking your email or zoning out… your teen may quit sharing altogether!

Hey, be thankful your daughter is spilling her thoughts with you.  Continue to build trust with her.  Don’t miss out.  Time is fleeting, and someday you’ll wish you had dialed in more.  So Mom, Dad … hang in there.  Your drama queen needs you to listen!
