<\/iframe><\/p>\nvia GIPHY<\/p>\nThe question is – what’s the best way to handle all the eye rolling? \u00a0KJ Dell’Antonia, author of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ROHNFF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">How to be a Happier Parent: Raising a Family, Having a Life, and Loving (Almost) Every Minute<\/a> and mom of teens herself<\/span>, recently answered it.<\/p>\nShe said parents have a choice when it comes to their response:<\/p>\n“You can take it personally and see it as disrespectful. But you can also take it as ‘this is just my kid right now, and in an hour they\u2019ll be different,’\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>“It doesn\u2019t become a big thing if you don\u2019t make it a big thing.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThat reminded me of parenting a toddler, when the best way to stop behavior that drives you crazy is to ignore it.

When our kids lose perspective is when we most need to keep ours.<a href=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Happier-Parent-tiny-thumbnail.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9396 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Happier-Parent-tiny-thumbnail.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\nRead more bout Dell’Antonia’s ways to be a happier parent in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagoparent.com\/learn\/general-parenting\/how-to-be-a-happier-parent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago Parent article<\/a>, or pick up her book.<\/p>\nPrior Post:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/apple-items-at-trader-joes\/\">9 Favorite apple items at Trader Joe\u2019s<\/a><\/p>\nDon\u2019t miss a post!<\/span> Please subscribe to Between Us Parents\u2019 completely safe, spam-free email list in the box in the top right corner of the page!<\/span><\/p>\nPlease like Between Us Parents on<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BetweenUsParents\">Facebook<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nYou can also find us on<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/shannanyounger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shannanyounger\">Twitter<\/span><\/a>, and<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/shannanyounger\">Instagram<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parenting a teen means being on the receiving end of some serious eye rolls from your offspring.
