Raising Teenagers

Hello Friends,

Raising teenagers can be a lot of fun!

When a child reaches the age of 12 or 13, you may wish to stop saying 'no' as an automatic response to their request for permission. You may wish to say, 'tell me why I should say, yes.' The goal is to help the child to make decisions. A child must learn to think through the cause and effect of their decisions. What may happen if I do this, or what will happen if I do that?

In Jesus,
Bruce
