One of the areas of life most under stress from commuting and a busy lifestyle is our financial well being. In this course we look at basic practical and spiritual tools for personal financial health. This course focuses particularly on the importance of a budget, and will encourage you to create your own basic budget to get your financnes under control.
The best way to enjoy the course is if a friend, or even better, anyone you live with watches or listens to the same content as you, so you can discuss the question when you’re back in one place. When you’ve been meeting in a group for a little while, register your group here.

Parenting teenagers involves gradually letting out the boundaries and giving increased freedom and responsibility. We compare different parenting styles (neglectful, authoritarian, indulgent and authoritative) and show how a combination of warmth and firmness (authoritative parenting) is the most beneficial to a teenager’s healthy development.
Adapting our approach
• Communication not always easy through the teenage years
• learning curve for most parents
• adults and teenagers tend to communicate in different ways
See attached file for some differences!
• if we allow them to tell us what they find difficult about how we communicate with them, they are more likely to listen to us when we need to tell them what we find difficult about how they communicate with us
• understand that sometimes teenagers like to be contrary. (If we get heavy and intense they will probably react strongly just to give us a hard time)
• give them space. Respect their privacy.
• don't try to control every aspect of their lives.
• don't expect them to tell you everything
Question: How easy or difficult is it for you to communicate with your teenager(s) currently?
