We all remember what it was like to be a teenager, unless you deliberately blocked it out of full existence! Knowing the challenges our children have with daily stressors when it comes to, what’s considered popular, should I try this to fit in, or should I do this to belong, don’t we have to make it our priority to protect them from these pressures? Or do we allow them to be self reliant and hope that we are raising leaders who are comfortable using the word NO, or setting boundaries as not to succumb to temptations. Belonging to a good group of friends might make decision making easier. Attached is an article that I found extremely interesting and I hope you will too.
