Parenting Priority

Some parents worry too much about their teenagers.

The parent who incessantly worries about their teenager, can’t get away for a break because they’re afraid what the teen will do. The ones who think and who talks only about their teen’s problems, is headed for disaster. I see it all the time. The parents get so focused on their teenager that they become quick-tempered, nervous wreaks. It draws a wedge in the marriage and the whole family can be lost.

The best thing parents can do – for themselves, their family and their teenager — is to make sure their marriage remains healthy and strong. Make that your first priority, and you’ll be much more able to deal with anything your children throw your way.

Remember that they are a part of the whole family, the team if you will and it is not all about them!!
