What’s the temperature in your home? If the conflict’s gettin’ hot … don’t give up on your teen! Remember to keep the end in view!
If the bickering seems constant … and the arguments are heatin’ up … you’re probably not thinking about your kid’s character ten years from now. But, rest assured, your hard work today will pay off tomorrow.
Help your teens acknowledge their frustrations and work through them. Teach them to see different options to their troubles, to weigh them … and to choose wisely.
In the heat of the battle, it may feel like you’re losing ground. But take heart. What you teach your child today … will show up in their character years down the road!
