The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of the year.  Most of us enjoy a break from the routine… and holiday traditions.  But for some… the extra time with the kids means tension at home.

If you’re facing a few weeks with your teen in the house… and the probability of family arguments every day… maybe it’s time to take a step back.  Press the pause button for a minute.

What are some ways you can change the dynamic of your home this holiday season?  Maybe you need to spend time with your teen one- on- one.  Maybe it’s the time to laugh as a family.  Or start a new tradition.

Make this Christmas one of rest and relationship… instead of tension and turmoil.
