Your teen’s life may be filled with activities. But is he missing out on valuable time with mom and dad?

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

We push our teens to work hard at piano lessons, soccer practice, church events, and whatever else we cram into their 24-hour day. But rarely do we create time to simply sit down and have a real conversation.

This week, try making a pie chart of your time with your teen. Is most of your time spent shuttling them from activity to activity … or speed-chatting at the dinner table?

The fact is, kids these days are over- committed and under- nurtured. So if your teen feels constantly tired and worn out, it’s time to intervene.

Slow down, back off … and make your home a healthy place for restoring the soul.
