Baby Skin to Beards
My boys are my greatest joy and my greatest frustration ( oh how I long for the terrible two ’ s again !) Instead of baby skin , I now have beards and size 13 shoes .
As we reach the final years before adulthood , I am learning to shift from being cop to being coach / mentor ( not easily though ). In the Bible it tells us that women need love and men need respect . Apparently these two things are closely tied … and I ’ m finding that I am heard more and loved more with the respectful approach & reproach route .
The social media articles in this issue have some great advice for everyone — it ’ s a way of life and it ain ’ t goin ’ away …. but my approach is changing . I ’ m going for the heart change and not just settling for the behavior change . I hope you and your teen find all the articles and features helpful !
We ’ re all in this together — Blessings !
