No, but that doesn’t mean the troubled teen won’t perceive or treat it as unloving or judgemental.

There comes a point where poor receipt of a message is the child’s problem, not the parent’s. That said, the parent must take great pains to be loving and respectful of the child. Tone and nonverbals can be more powerful than the actual words.
