2. Don't try to arbitrate every fight

• give them space to work out their own disagreements
• remain impartial- don't always blame the older child or jump to conclusions
• intervene if they are hurting each other
• don't allow unkind words or bullying
• think ahead for regular issues that cause disputes: take turns when possible

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?
