The presence of parents is beneficial at four key times of the day — early morning, after school, dinnertime and bedtime.
When that regular contact is combined with other shared activities between parents and kids, the most positive outcome is achieved. The researchers also observed that adolescents who felt a sense of connection with their parents (feelings of warmth, love and caring) were least likely to engage in harmful behavior.
You might be asking: “How can I be with my teenagers morning, noon and night? I have too much work to do.” You simply have to decide what is most important to you at this time.
You may not be called upon to make such a radical change in your lifestyle. But if you are, the investment in your teen’s life is worth it. We can’t put a price tag on our child’s life...
Parental involvement is the key to getting kids through the storms of adolescence.
Now, imagine if Michelle Obama's teenage daughter had become pregnant. Don't you think Dobson and the other Moral Maggots would be accusing her of neglecting her child?
