Day 7 - Home - A Place to Learn Good Values

Parenting Teenagers

The home is a place where teenagers learn good values.

•Teenagers learn more from what they see than from what we tell them to do •Learning to be honest, generous and hospitable; learning to handle anger, to resolve conflict, to apologize and to forgive •“like father like son” and “like mother, like daughter” our teenagers will learn more from us than from anyone else, if we’re there for them


Question:
What values would you like to pass on to your teenager?

Doing kind actions is one of the five love languages.

  • see the regular kind actions you do on their behalf as a way of showing them your love
  • look for opportunities to do something extra for them
  • be careful not to rescue them otherwise they won’t learn from their mistakes
  • give teenagers increasing responsibility
    • don’t do everything for them

remind them to express gratitude for what we or others do for them

How could the list of ranked love languages you made yesterday be helpful in your parenting this week?
