I am not talking about giving others everything they want. I am talking about sincere concern for the souls of others, about their happiness, as Christ would define happiness. Unfortunately, many of us have children, who for what ever reasons, are self-centered and without much love of others in their relationships. Teenage Rebellion is Normal but Dangerous We can teach and teach and teach our children, but many of our words will fall on deaf ears. This is natural, and we shouldn't be alarmed when it happens.
Adolescence is the time when our children become adults.
It is normal for them to rebel against family. They are trying to be on their own and make their own decisions. We shouldn't be alarmed at teenage rebellion, but we must find ways to help our teens achieve peaceful, safe roads to adulthood. Do Not What I Say, Do as I Do One important way, perhaps the most important way, that we can teach our children without them tuning us out is by our example. Our children may disagree with us, our children may not listen to our lectures, but they will watch us to see if we do the things we tell them to do.
