A teen in the house


To have a teenager in the house can often be trying and maybe
many parents experience to be seen as from Stone Age, less human
knowledge and to be a total disaster. But those of us that have been
through a couple of youthful revolts, or remember our own, we know
this will pass. In due time the order is back to normal.

One thing we learn is the word Compromise!
It doesnīt mean to give up, oh no, rules are important and
very good, it makes the youth feel safe, feel that someone cares.
Lack of rules have only the effect that the son or daughter feels 
unimportant, useless, no good...

Maybe itīs often so that many parents nowadays are so occupied
with implementation of themselves so the children is put aside?
It takes a lot of time and effort to raise children but no work
in the world gives so much back as from what we give to our 
children all we can of our love and care.
