Enjoy Your Children and Parenting!

The teenage years can be really hard, but one of the best things you can do for your relationship with them is to be direct. Giving them facts is helpful for getting around in the world but also letting them know what to expect emotionally is also a good idea. Many teens think that parents are not that smart and don’t get what they’re going through. They think that the world is unfair and that they are alone and not normal.  Our job as parents is to reassure them that they are normal and that yes, the world is unfair sometimes, but how they choose to deal with it is the most important.
