Many experts recommend taking back the family dinner. In reality, your family might not be able to make dinner work in your schedule. In that case, find any 10 minutes in your day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack-time) to engage in meaningful family conversation.
When your teenager encounters a difficult time, he may feel like his situation is unique and embarrassing. You should share your story. Do you know why? Because research proves that when family members share their stories, both successes and failures, our children learn that people survive challenges.
Families need constant adjustments. Learn to be agile and your children will learn to be flexible as well.
Make sure that you are conscientious about playing together. Plan for it—vacations, games, family hikes. Have fun.
As we know, kids are spending increased time in front of screens. So in-person face time becomes even more essential. Focus on in-person time with your family, with your children and their friends, and with extended familyand friends. Nothing replaces in-person experiences.
Have a formal conversation with your family and define what is really important. From your list of priorities, craft a family mission statement.
Have a family meetingonce a week to discuss the family, actually discuss how the family is functioning.
The old philosophy—let them work it out—has proven not to work. Get involved, but don’t adjudicate. Have a conversation that starts to develop conflict-resolution skills.
Many of us grew up with our parents imposing a punishment. Try including your teen in the crafting of an appropriate punishment. They will probably have better follow-through, and they will develop skills to make good decisions.
