You ever play hide and seek as a kid?

When you’re young, hide and seek is a great game to play with friends and neighbors. You always check the usual hiding places first. And if no one is there, you go look somewhere else.

Well, sometimes our teens can feel like they’re playing a game of hide and seek with the things they need the most, like love, relationship, and value. They first try at home with mom and dad. And if they can’t find what they’re looking for there, they start looking someplace else.

Are you giving your son or daughter the love, relationship, and value they need today? If they don’t get it from you, they’ll step outside the home until they satisfy their needs somewhere else.
