Researchers from the Yale Child Study Center collected 21 days of daily diaries from parents and teens from 151 families. Participating teens were in the 9th and 10th grades, and ranged from 13 to 16 years old. By analyzing these diaries, the researchers could connect parents' displays of warmth with daily fluctuations(波动) in how loved their teens were feeling. “The daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical suggestions for daily life，” says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study.

Regardless of the general closeness of the parent­teen relationship, the researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection, understanding, or praise. Likewise, teens reported feeling less loved on days when parents reported more conflicts than usual. More importantly, the researchers also found that parents could weaken the impact of conflicts by showing their teens warmth. In other words, on days when parents were warm, high levels of conflicts didn't reduce how loved teens felt.

To weaken conflicts' impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said.

“Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children，” said John Coffey, the study's lead author, “but our study suggests conflicts are manageable.”

The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long­term relationships. How parents and teens communicate and resolve conflicts may be most important to maintaining a healthy relationship in the long term, said the researchers.

“The study findings are particularly useful right now，” added Coffey, “because parents and their children are spending much time together. Finding ways to be kind and warm will help lessen potential conflicts and ensure children feel loved.”

Dear Your Teen，

I'm struggling with my 15­year­old son over his music lessons. He has enrolled in piano lessons and is required to take an exam to complete the course, for which I have already paid. Since he started high school, he has put in a lot of effort at school, but he doesn't want to dedicate much time to his music lessons because his schedule is filled with his school homework. I want to respect his decision, but I also think he should be responsible for finishing what he started. Should I compromise when he tells me he wants to give up? I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Thanks!

Linda

It's good for your son to work so hard at the start of high school! The transition(过渡) from middle school to high school typically brings teens more homework in harder classes and increases expectations about managing their workload more independently. It requires teens to take a hard look at their schedules and out­of­class activities to decide what feels reasonable to stick to while also doing their best at school. It is a more important part of adolescence(青春期) to help your son realize what he needs for his own well­being than concern which activities he sticks with and which he drops.

If you decide that your son does need to finish the course, a good communication about how to ease his amount of work in other places may be in order. For example, if your son spends a long time on schoolwork and spends his free time on the piano, you may decide to give him a break from other tasks temporarily(临时地), while he sees his lessons through to the exam.
