It's so hard to find time with our teenagers being so busy. If they're driving, that's less time spent together. They have friends they want to hang out with now, school activities and possibly a job. We have to plan those moments and really key into them to show them how much we care.
There is no "rule book" for parenting kids of any age but as the mom of a teenager, I've learned a few things and I feel compelled to share. I'm certainly no expert but maybe I'm doing something right because on a regular basis, parents/school faculty will tell me how impressed they are with my daughter. No this is not a bragging "my-kid-is-wonderful" post.
It's true that our parents can only do their best. My story is not uncommon, especially for the time in which I grew up; the 1970's. People didn't realize the damaging affects of an abusive environment. I'm glad to say that since we know better now, we do better...well some of us anyway. Use my story as a tool for learning what parents should NOT do to their children.
