Parenting Teens: The Biggest Job We’ll Ever Have Podcast

"Focus on family spirit and not family image." What an important and thought-provoking mantra, especially in a world where image seems to be everything.  But how do we do this?  “It’s not easy,” says Laura Gauld; “and it’s usually a struggle or challenge in the family that gets us to the point of understanding that each family does have a family spirit, and that family spirit is more important than our family image.” The mantras in this podcast are: Plan an activity with each child. Value and expect manners Teach a firm handshake and eye contact. Teach a family motto and live it. Focus on family spirit and not family image.
