Having some trouble with your teenager? Some lessons I've learned when it comes to communicating with your teen!
1) Trust them but don’t. I mean let them earn your trust BUT also be smart and keep boundaries set in place so they don’t fail. We as their mamas want to set them up for success! If we put them in potential situations that could hinder their walk with the Lord OR give them a chance to fail then we are doing them a disservice.
Matthew 6:22- The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
2)COMMUNICATION- It is SO important to talk with your kids. They don't need to know everything BUT talk with them about all the things they want to talk about. Make sure they know they can ask you things and tell you things WITHOUT judgement or condemnation.
3) Let go of expectations- this goes back to lots of conversations about comparison.
4) PRAY PRAY PRAY!!
Be blessed and challenge dear one!
