Respect. It’s one of the most vital stones placed in the foundation of your home. And without respect, no relationship will be able to withstand the storms life will surely bring.

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.

Think about your home right now. Is there a healthy sense of respect and esteem between family members?

Well, consider this. When it comes to showing respect for others… your teen takes her cues from you! So when you’ve had a particularly hard day at work… or you’re frustrated with the kids at home… don’t take it out on your spouse. Find other ways to vent that don’t include wife- bashing …or husband- bashing!

When you love and respect your partner in marriage… you’re teaching your children to do the same!
