Problems with teens often are signs of troubles within families as a whole. One part of raising child that is particularly difficult is meeting the needs of each child and defining when enough is enough. Every child is different, so their needs will be different. With one child you may need to spend more time with, with another child you may need to spend time talking, and with some you may need to give more physical expressions of love. An important aspect of being a parent is to take the time to figure out how to help each child individually.
One suggestion that we have for strengthening families is to eat one meal together as a family, this can make a huge difference in family relations. As parents of the household you should designate one meal that everyone needs to set aside to be together as a family. Remove all distractions during that time such as television, computers, and cell phones. It should be a time for everyone to gather together and talk. Communications skills are vital, make sure that the conversations are constructive. This is not a time for a parental “soap box preaching”. Listen to what your children say, and ask simple questions based upon what they are talking about. If you want a health relationship with your kids you need to make sure that you help in creating that environment.

Mom on the forum seeks advice: My daughter is a junior and was invited to apply for membership in the National Honor Society. When she saw the application, it was basically a list of what organizations she was involved in. While she gets great grades and has been a dedicated dancer for 10 years, she has not pursued the “traditional” school clubs. I encouraged her to write an essay from her heart that explained why she felt she wanted to be part of an organization that is supposed to be based on character and community. This is exactly what she wrote. I looked for it AFTER she got her REJECTION letter in the mail today… the letter is here… While Becca did not “make the cut” for the honor society, I am a very proud mom. Should I protest her rejection?
Denise’s thoughts: I look at it this way, she has done very well and often these things are more ‘popularity contests’ with certain teachers who know certain students. If you protest, the worst thing that can happen is you get another ‘no’. So I think you should try.
Asking our parenting community: Do you think she should protest the rejection? Why or why not? Please share your thoughts, experiences and advice in the comments area.
