Parenting Teenagers
7 Steps to Rebuild/Strengthen Your Relationship with Your Teenager
Have you ever looked at your teenager and felt a heavy distance? They aren't little anymore. They aren't grown yet. They are somewhere in the middle space where we, as parents, struggle with how hard to hold on and when to let go. . . . These almost-adults are trying to write their own rules and forgetting or disregarding ours. Feelings come at us like a tornado turning our parenting hearts in turmoil when we are mad, sad, and deep down, hurt. I have been there. But, the good news is that hope is not lost. Our teens are not hopeless and our hearts are not destined to be hardened to an unknown degree.
