Helping you to connect with your student and their culture

To all our amazing Parents,
 
Thank you for continuing on with us in Parent University. This month, I want to ask this question -- How do you stay calm when your teenager isn’t?  We all experience this phenomenon from time to time; and many times we’re left with that ’oh no, what do I do now?’ feeling.

I want to share a very practical tip with you that may help you stay calm when your teenager is not calm.
It’s called the Rewind and the Flash Forward.
 
You can watch this short video to learn how you can try it out in your home.
I hope this helps you. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us all of an important relationship truth.  A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Nobody wins and communication shuts down when anger rules. Why not try Rewind and Flash Forward? I’m pretty sure you’ll get the opportunity soon.

Later this month, we will give ourselves an “Attitude Check”. I am looking forward to it, and I hope you are too.

Have a great week,
ric
