Day 7 - Home - A Place to Learn Good Values

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:

Home is a place where teenagers learn how to build healthy relationships.

  • Teenagers learn to relate through observing adult relationships
  • If parenting together, invest in your relationship (take our marriage course!)
  • If parenting on your own, build the best relationship you can with the other parent, when possible
  • Nurture other adult friendships
  • Mealtimes together – teenagers learn to talk, listen, debate issues, and respect others’ views
  • Regular family time – having fun together ias a family helps build relationships between parents and children and between siblings (consider having a weekly “family night”)

How can you intentionally model healthy relationships with others in your life, for your teenager to learn from?
