Time to Pretend

Parenting Teenagers! Yikes!!! No thank you. That is something I never want to do! But I guess it is necessary. This week we watched some great videos about parenting a teenager. One clip really stood out to me about the way we talk to each other. In the video it showed a girl sitting on the couch and listening to music. Her mom came in and just started yelling at her. Then they showed the situation reversed of the mother sitting on the couch and the girl coming in and yelling at the mom being demanding and saying basically the same things the mom said in the previous clip. This really left an impact on me. Sometimes we think that things are ok because we are the adult but it absolutely is not. This video showed a lot of good ways to talk with your children so that they will respect you and will be willing to come to you if needed.
