Good morning everyone! Heres another mistake we parents make. Make sure you ask them to read the this page. We are praying for you and your parents. Have a great day!!! Top Ten Mistakes Christian Parents of Teens Make by Jeff Strong...continued 8. Spoiling your teen. We are all tempted to think that loving our kids means doing all we can to ensure they have all the opportunities and things we didn’t have growing up. This is a terrible assumption to make. It leads to an enormous amount of self-important, petty, and ungrateful kids. A lot of the time parents are well-intentioned in our spoiling, but our continual stream of money and stuff may cause teens to never be satisfied and always wanting more. Your teen doesn’t need another electronic gadget etc., what he needs is time and attention from you (that’s one expression of spoiling that actually benefits your teen!). There are two things that can really set you back in life if we get them too early: a. Access to too much money. b. Access to too many opportunities. Parents need to recognize they’re doing their teens a disservice by spoiling them in either of these ways. Save the spoiling for the grandkids.
