These are the instructions more than 40 education, health and human services representatives were given Friday during the third in a four-part series of workshops dealing communication between teen-agers and adults.
Forster is the instructor for the series.
Friday's session was titled "Love, Sex and Rock n' Roll The Teen Culture." The series is sponsored by the Multi-County Community Service Agency in Meridian and the Mental Health Association in Lauderdale County.
Forster said to be heard by the teen-ager, the adult must first listen.
Good eye contact, occasional nods and positioning one's body toward the speaker are essential if an adult is to convince a teen-ager that he or she is really listening, Forster told the group that represented a cross-section of public and private social organizations and business ventures.
