Conclusion

A wise man (my dad) once said, “Albert Schweitzer was once asked about how you should raise children. His answer was that there are three principles: first, example; second, example; and third, example. What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or even do. The innate essence of who we really are, what our character really is, communicates quietly, silently, and imperceptibly. And children are amazingly sensitive, aware, and alert to all of this. When they are very little and subject to parents and other significant authority figures, they pick it all up in spite of our efforts to conceal, disguise, hide, pretend or posture.”

The principles, concepts, and skills I’ve shared with you are all based on mutual respect and kindness. Treat your teen as you want to be treated, even when it’s most difficult. Parent by example and you will see your relationship with your teen mature and grow. Building a lasting relationship with your teen will enrich not only your life, but the life of your child as well.

A lasting, fulfilling relationship is my sincere wish for you and your family.

Warm Regards,
