"If we could change their mindset, we can change their behavior.
If we could change their behavior, we can change their heart."
The Solution

-
Be a parent... not a friend to your child, first.
-
Show interest in your teen's school life (joining the PTA, checking homework, etc.)
-
Spend quality time getting to know your child's likes and dislikes
-
Get to know your child's friends
-
Be honest and direct when talking about sensitive subjects (drugs, sex, smoking, etc.)
-
Help them make healthy choices while encouraging them to make their own decisions.
-
Respect your teen's opinions and take into account their thoughts and feelings. It is important that they know you are "listening" to them.
-
Be clear about goals and expectations (like getting good grades, showing respect, and keeping their room clean). Both Caring Men & Caring Women address these issues with one on one interactive discussions, designed to meet the world's expectations of living.
