Perhaps at this point you are clamoring: "Some specific directions, please!"
By now no doubt you've got the gist of what you'd like to do. If so, you'll be able to fill in the following short sentences with your own expanded meanings.
Keep the ear in tune and the eyes open.
Take stock of what your teen-ager seems to be wanting.
Supply whatever emotional hungers you can.
Pick up his present-tense feelings when they are troubled and help him get them off his chest.
To start him off, try mirroring them with your words.
Give him a chance to get back at you now for the past feelings that may still lie in the way of friendship between you.
Remain as sympathetically acceptant as you can of his FEELINGS.
Deal firmly and realistically with controls that are needed concerning his ACTS.
