Here is a sample of our daily parenting inspiration on Twitter. It’s like opening a parenting fortune cookie everyday!
* Wise parents choose to encourage their #teen‘s friendships not engineer them.
* http://www.thatvideosite.com/v/3386– I love this video. I believe it would also be wonderful to make one for… fb.me/1gRRfg2NE
* Your #teen‘s idea of marriage will come from the one they are closest to. Don’t let that scare you today, but inspire you to action
* To best understand the mind and heart of your #teenager, be courageous enough to remember your own teenage experience. #memorylane
* Your #teen values the written word often times more than the spoken word. Try writing a note or text them today! #parentzilla
* Make decisions today to please the 35 yr old version of your #teenager not the 13 yr old version in front of your face
* Don’t let “accidental adolescence” happen to you. What moments or conversations will you have w/ them in 2012?
* Sexting numbers among teens lower than thoughthttp://usat.ly/rwbEqY via USA TODAY http://fb.me/1qqMIE17A
* Most of the time, your #teen‘s issue that is in your face is not the real issue. Dig for the root cause to see a real difference.
* Next time your #teen needs to make a BIG DECISION…spend less time telling them what to decide and more time training them how to decide
* Parents watch this video of a Middle School boy who creates Iphone apps & be inspired 2 empower your student’s dreams..http://youtu.be/ehDAP1OQ9Zw
* To be a teenager’s safe place you must seek to receive their emotion and return to it a calm non anxious presence. That is selfless love.
* The 13 year old and the 3 year old are in the same stage of development…test and explore.
* The parenting muscle that must be worked out the most w/ #tweens& young #teens? Keeping your cool when they lose theirs. #practicepatience
* You finish the adolescent journey well, when you begin it well. 1st step is to build relationship through a regular date w/ your kid!
* Give ur #teen & #tween a specific way 2 rebuild trust once they have broken it. If u don’t they will lose hope & believe they r a bad kid
* It might be hard to believe but as a parent your words WEIGH more than anyone else’s words to your #teen or #tween. Use them wisely today!
* Raising teenagers is hard. Giving up on them and watching the results of that is harder. #youcandothis
* When your #teen brings you HARD words, return to them SOFT words. It diffuses anger and lets you focus on the real issue.
* When ur #teenagers are going thru major life change & major crisis drop everything 2 step up your parenting game. They will never forget it
* A screaming #teen or #tween is really saying to their parent “you are my safe place & I trust u to see me at my worst”
