Listening, Love and Leadership:
The 3 core values at the heart of parent-teenage success
Listening
An in-depth look at hearing one another and understanding one another to become a closer team.
- Listening is a two-way road. Of the top 3 complaints raised by parents struggling with teenagers, their kids not listening is always included. Teenage boys and girls also often complain that their parents don’t listen to them either and that they feel misunderstood or ignored. Either we and they are distracted during our conversation or we just aren’t actually open to listening and understanding.
Love
Why its more than just a cute word and how the power of love permeates from this world to the next.
- As parents we all know how much we love our teenagers. We look back fondly on their infant days and try to hold on to these. But now they are grown, most of our love is shown in ways of disciplining. Love is still love but for the teenager it can feel like one big lecture or a nagging parent.
Leadership
The vital characteristics and habits for leading a life full of blessings, whatever the circumstance.
- Every child needs leadership skills - even those who are shy or quiet. Of course not everyone can be president but leadership skills are vital to manage their own family unit, in the workplace or when studying. Leading one self adequately is the first step and as parents it’s essential that we instil an inclination to lead.
