Child psychotherapist Dr Colman Noctor and ieParenting editor Irene Feighan discuss how to communicate with a teenager who is reluctant to talk. 


The adolescent years bring a lot of changes and often teenagers struggle to cope with all their emotions.  However, it is important to keep lines of communication open and to allow for a teen to feel heard. 

Dr Noctor shares the one thing you should do and the one thing you shouldn’t do as a parent of a teen and offers guidance on how to navigate high sensitivity and effectively communicate with a teenager.
