Day 18 - Engaging in Dialogue

Parenting Teenagers

We look at the role of dialogue in effective communications.

Be available
• demonstrating we're available and ready to listen helps our teenagers open up • take opportunities for significant conversations when they come up - not always at the most convenient moments for us! • set aside regular time to talk

Question:
What are the principal interests your teenager enjoys talking about?

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?
