    TODAY’S SCRIPT:

    It is normal for teens to crave acceptance and love from those around them – especially their peers.

    As teens attempt to find acceptance in their world, parents should loosen the reins a little, but remain watchful. Continue to have a presence in their life; not one that dominates, but one that guides and limits when necessary.

    And learn how to use the tools of their culture, like texting, cell phones, and social networking to lightly stay in touch. Call or text them just to say you love them, or to wish them a good day.

    When teens feel accepted and their parents and family remain in touch, they’ll strive less for the often negative influence of desiring attention at any cost from their peers.
