Conflict comes in many forms. Sometimes it explodes in boiling bursts of anger. Other times it comes over the house like a sheet of ice… sending a chill across your relationships. So… what’s the temp in your household today?

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.

I’d challenge you to take a positive view of conflict . Whether it’s heated debate with your teens… or awkward silence… consider this ...

If you’ve ever prayed to be the parent God has called you to be… that’s what He’s doing. Right now. The process may throw you off balance… but conflict with your kids may be refining your character in ways you never imagined.

So …no matter the temperature in your household …trust God to guide you… and help you make the most of His refining work in you!
