Summary: (Click title to listen)PODCAST SCRIPT: I have a lot of parents ask me for practical advice… steps they can take right now to relieve the tension at home. If you’re living with a struggling teen… you may feel the same urgency. Maybe you’re looking for a quick fix. Well, there isn’t a magic potion you can ingest that’ll bring instant peace to your home. Tough problems take time to resolve. But let me suggest a couple steps that’ll help you right away … First, when your teen acts up … stop lecturing and start listening. Second, stop worrying and start praying. Include God in the process. And finally… stop frowning and start laughing. Lighten up a bit. It’s not a cure- all. But it’ll give you a new perspective on your life with a struggling teen! Listen. Pray. And laugh! ©2013 Mark Gregston www.parentingtodaysteens.org. Email: markgregston@heartlightministries.org.
