4 Tips for Growing Closer to Your Teen

August 4, 2012 by Leave a Comment

 

Have teens?  Wonder where all the time has gone?  Wishing you would have done a few things differently? (Yes, yes and yes, for me)

 

Be encouraged parents. It’s never too late to start plugging in and being intentional with your kids. These years can be stressful at times, but they can also be very enjoyable. Don’t let the rough spots overshadow these precious last few years you have them at home. 

 

 

4 Tips for Growing Closer to Your Teen 

 

1.  Spend time with them. Find out what they like to do and make a
     date.

 

2.  Talk to them often, but most importantly, listen to them. Find out
     what’s going on and how their hearts are doing.

 

3.  Welcome their friends into your home. By making your home a
     fun and safe place to hang out you’re actually creating
     an environment they prefer to be.

 

4.  Know your kids friends and their parents. You simply must
     know and manage who is being allowed to influence your
     kids. Period.

 

What tips do you have for growing closer to your teen?  I’d love to hear them!
