Parenting Teenagers

Time spent together is one of the five love languages.

• The importance of giving our teenagers our undivided attention • doing something with them - it doesn't have to be expensive • ask them what they enjoy doing • don't set the bar too high - seize opportunities, go out for a pizza, walk the dog together, play or watch sport. go to the cinema or a concert • consider spending a more extended period of time with each child once a year

Question:
