"True greatness is expressed in serving. Acts of service freely given from parents to teenagers are true expressions of emotional love", says Dr. Chapman in his book The Five Love Languages for Teenagers. This post is about how parenting is all about acts of service. How we serve them can have a lasting effect on our kids during their teen years and beyond.
It's so hard to find time with our teenagers being so busy. If they're driving, that's less time spent together. They have friends they want to hang out with now, school activities and possibly a job. We have to plan those moments and really key into them to show them how much we care.
There is no "rule book" for parenting kids of any age but as the mom of a teenager, I've learned a few things and I feel compelled to share. I'm certainly no expert but maybe I'm doing something right because on a regular basis, parents/school faculty will tell me how impressed they are with my daughter. No this is not a bragging "my-kid-is-wonderful" post.
