I suspect that we have lost sight of the content and context necessary for communicating properly with our children. So we define their problems as being the result of a disjointed society. Let s face it, society simply isn t going to change dramatically enough and soon enough to help us develop a deeper relationship with our children. But our relationships with our children can change. Skillful parenting has more to do with substance than style.
Children learn the most about dealing with life s challenges from their parents.
Adolescence is a time when children most need support, stability and encouragement. For teens to make effective decisions, they need their parents input and encouragement. The family is the center stage upon which our children s destiny will unfold. That includes their music, but more importantly, their friendships. Make certain your home is also a place for your children s friends.
