Teens often don’t understand what’s going on with their body, minds and emotions.
What we all really want in life as a human being, is for someone to hear us and see us.
And we don’t want people to judge us, we want to be celebrated and to be accepted as we are.
And dear parents, that is exactly what our kids need too, especially teenagers.We can support them and encourage them.
If you’re raising a teenager your job is to guide and be there for them. They will make mistakes, it’s ok that’s how they will learn. I’m sure as an adult yourself you have made plenty of mistakes and you’re still ok.
What I’m trying to say is that our teenagers are going through a lot already and we as their parents need to be the support system they need.
They need your hugs, your listening ears, and trust me they need you more than you know.
This message is for me too, I have to keep reminding myself that my son is an adult now and it’s hard. Sometimes I just want to wrap my hand around him and not let him go, but I can’t do that now o, because he is his own person and he is now a man.
And all I can do now is to guide, listen and give advice or suggestions, however he already knows what he wants to do.
Our kids NEED one place they can count on for safety and peace. And this is how we do that.
May God help us all 🙏🏾
