You ever play hide and seek as a kid?

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

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.
