Mom, dad, do you know the one thing that your teen needs from you the most?
It’s not a car. It’s not guitar-lessons. It’s not permission to get a tattoo. What kids today need more than ever is a relationship. A real, genuine, face-to-face relationship.
The average child spends about ten hours a day staring at a screen, like computers, phones, TVs, and tablets.
Have you taken time today to sit down and have a face-to-face, eyeball-to-eyeball conversation with your teen? Try setting the example, and put your phone away first.
The relationship with your teen is something that can never be replaced. Your son or daughter is simply too valuable.
