Parent-to-Parent Advice

As a single mom of a pre-soon-to-be-teen I most certainly agree with the following advice!

Parent-to-Parent Advice
from Hannah Storm, co-host of The Early Show on CBS

1. You may be busy, but take the time to stop what you are doing and listen to your child.
2. Try not to get into power struggles with your children. You can even physically remove yourself from the situation.
3. Ask your children questions and have them come up with their own answers and solutions.
4. Find comfortable situations for conversation, perhaps in the car.
5. Teenagers can have a tough time walking the line between childhood and adulthood. Try to keep that in mind.
