How can I get my teenager to listen to what I have to say?

You could start by being more patient and understanding. Try listening to their point of view, and ask questions that show you are interested in hearing them out. Make sure you’re not just telling them what to do, but rather asking open-ended questions that will help them think through the issue at hand. Additionally, try using positive reinforcement when they are doing something you want them to do.
