Thank you to Marianne Russo from the The Life Unexpected and The Coffee Klatch for today’s post. It begins with the mindset. If in your mind your child or teen is trying to control you, your home, your family, your life, I truly believe you are losing the battle. If in your mind your child or teen [...]
Our teenagers text all the time. When they’re eating breakfast, they’re texting. When they’re walking down the hallways at school, they’re texting. And when they should be interacting with friends and family outside their bedroom, they’re texting them instead. It all started when teenagers started receiving cell phones from their parents in order for parents [...]
Every parent wants to have the teenage years go by smoothly and without a glitch.
