I guess there is a reasonpeople let out huge sighs when
referring to their teenagers.
The Brookes fam
now have three of them.

Can you say
Roller Coaster?
I'm definitely smart enough to
realize that there are plenty
of families out there
who have done this before me.
And made it through
to tell the tale.
Yes.
I'm talking to YOU.
Looking for tips,
strategies,
cool stories
or just stories
to help the masses
(like me)
gain knowledge
and expertise
during this really fun stage
of parenting.
Start dishing...
So far I know
this to be true about my
three teenagers:
1. They like to be told
you are proud of them.
2. They like when mom and dad
think they are responsible
and put them
in positions to show this off.
3. They like
firm, safe boundaries
(even though they act like they don't)
4. They are still little kids inside growing bodies.
I know I've got good girls.
Just want to keep it that way
and do this right.
A book I picked up
that I'm learning good stuff from is:
Five Love Languages of Teenagers
Gary Chapman
Look for another post
clarifying all the good stuff
I learned from this book.
Stay tuned...
