Teens are out there working and driving…most teens are very industrious – it’s part of that energy system that they have and that we as parents begin to lack…<\/p>\n
Let your kids be kids but keep an eye and ear available … not too close but close enough. <\/p>\n
And don’t forget you were a teen once as well- remember those endless hours on the phone where you really had nothing to say? Well today it’s cell phone use and at least it isn’t tieing up the family phone like I used to do : )<\/p>\n
and exercise? hopefully the teens get lots of that this summer as well – depending on where you live – there are community parks, playgrounds, pools and the like for them to hang out at – it serves many purposes – fun, socializing and maybe just some exercise….<\/p>\n
hate to harp on food but try to make sure the teens don’t overdo the fast food – it’s just plain bad for them, for you, for me, for all of us – my motto – “If I can’t pronounce the words on the label, I don’t want it in my body.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
