I’m not necessarily a list kind of guy. But in some cases… it’s helpful… especially for parents with struggling teens.

Here are some of my top Do’s and Don’ts for moms and dads:

Trust that God is teaching both you and your kids through good times and bad. Keep the relationship with your teen alive… no matter what you face together. And change your bad habits when things are obviously your fault.

And a few Don’ts …

Don’t act out of anger.

And don’t ignore the negative stuff … in hopes it’ll go away.

And finally… don’t give in when you know you should stand your ground!

Mom and Dad… God has given you a strategic role. No one is more qualified to influence your

teen than you!
