We just know so much, and our kids aren't interested in our wisdom. Now that my kids are adults, they do come for advice now and then - and it's glorious! They did have to make a bunch of mistakes first though. That seems to be how we learn, dang it. :-) Marianne (Mare) Baker Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663143060069193124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-4637335400388857922014-10-14T12:09:52.291-04:002014-10-14T12:09:52.291-04:00You got this.

Active listening is a skill, I know, I can use it always, but when it comes to my own children or my younger sister (who is an adult) I need to remember the nail in the head. It's not about the nail. As I was raising my own teenagers, my goal was to always be able to have an adult relationship with them after we all survived the teenage years. They always called me a hippie. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-52632160640732605082014-10-14T07:51:37.306-04:002014-10-14T07:51:37.306-04:00Sponge Bob'll do that to you. lol Off to the...Sponge Bob'll do that to you. lol Off to the click.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-90983064328949249732014-10-14T04:25:18.836-04:002014-10-14T04:25:18.836-04:00love it - teenagers it's not easy - I know wh...love it - teenagers it's not easy - I know what your going through I have two and yes I know if I don't change I can also push them away - the few things I tell my kids is "there is always a solution a good solution that is " "there is nothing in this world that will shock me or dad; we are always here for you, and if you can't talk to us you have alot of family that you can speak to...Aunts, Uncles, Cousins" its hard and scary i get it great post I'm going to try to be the hippie mom too (sometimes) :)Marisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818816716586417433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-32967528988134394182014-10-13T22:13:53.737-04:002014-10-13T22:13:53.737-04:00nice work with the guest posting!
