With the way things are going in the world, sometimes it's hard to think of things as ever getting any better. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 explains there is a season and a time for everything that happens under the heavens.
As children learn new life rules and lessons during the teen years, parents too,
need to adapt their parenting techniques. Although teens generally begin spending
more time away from their families, they still need active and aware parents. Parenting with love and approval, and taking a positive approach even in moments of frustration are effective ways to guide children during the teen years. This guide discusses strategies for positive parenting, including promoting self-esteem, communicating, resolving conflict and teaching responsibility. Note-this guide provides general information only. For specific
questions or concerns about parenting issues, speak to your child's doctor, school,
or a mental health professional.
