Do not give them your power. A very common characteristic of a difficult teenager is that they seem to get a kick out of pushing your buttons, which triggers you and causes you to react negatively. Certain things such as breaking the rules, throwing a tantrum, teasing you, disobeying you, talking back, not listening to you, dismissing you, and provoking you are all little tactics that can trigger you to react in a manner that is simply not productive for either of you.

The more upset and reactive you act toward how they are acting, the more power you are giving your teen. You need to be sure that you keep your cool when you are dealing with a difficult teen. The less you react to the situation at hand, the easier it will be for you to handle the situation effectively with a clear and concise manner of thinking.

When you start to feel angry or challenged by your teen, try to avoid saying things that are going to make the situation worse. Step back, take a deep breath, and slowly count to ten. Often by the time you get to ten, you will have likely regained your composure and potentially found a better way to respond to the issue. This way you can reduce the problem as opposed to elevating it. If you are still upset over the issue after counting to ten, walk away from the problem and come back to it once you have had some time to calm down and think about things a bit.
