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?
