  • My Most Valuable Advice (7-16-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Of all the advice I ever give to parents, this is one bit of advice that you mustn’t ignore.

    Here it is…schedule a time to get together with your teenager, one-on-one, at least once a week.

    Go out for breakfast, coffee, or do lunch – but make it every week. It doesn’t have to take long and there is no agenda. Just do it, and let your teenager talk.

    This weekly meeting is so important, I recommend making it a condition on getting their allowance or going on weekend outings.

    Taking time to meet with your teen once a week will strengthen your relationship. It tells them, “I value every moment we can spend time together, because I value you.”
