Not too long ago a friend snapped a photo of me at my desk.  I had three computers running, I was talking on the phone and texting on my cell.  All at the same time!

You probably have moments like that, too.  Technology can run our life.  And it’s never more true than for your teen.

So, have you stepped out of the digital world lately to connect with your teen?  Have you made a date this week to have coffee with your daughter?  Or take your son to the driving range?

I’m not one to discourage the use of technology!  But keep it in its place.  This time, turn the cell phone off.  And take some time for eye-to-eye communication with your teen!
