Day 12 - Love Language - One to One Time

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:
Can you remember a particular example of your parent(s) showing love to you in this way?

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

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