November, 2010

In this month of Thanksgiving, make sure your tweens and teens know that they are on your gratitude list. Take opportunities as they present themselves to communicate your appreciation by using phrases like:

• I’m really proud of you (if possible, give a specific example)
• You’re important to me
• I like who you are and who you’re growing to be
• I’m glad you’re in our family
• I love you no matter what

Thank you for all you do!
