Communiction

I found this article from the independent newspaper. I thought i'd share this with you.

When I spend time with my children, I create a set of rules. The amount of time they can spend on the laptop etc. More importantly I ensure that still get some reading and writing down and make a point of sitting down and have breakfast lunch and dinner.

I think it's important to embrace technology. I think it's even more importnat to find a balance.

Tell me how it is in your household?

I recently have been challenged with a minor teenager issue regarding my mixed race daughter and her hair. It's something trying to tell her how beautiful she is without her wanted to change her hair, and trust me she is beautiful. Then again i would say that!!

The thing is though she wants to fit in with her peer group without seeming to be the odd one out! I bet some of you have been their before.

Anyway previous attempts have fell on deaf ears so instead of banning her from doing anything and creating a horrible dent in our relationship and a rebellious child at that, i've shown understanding and compassion. With a bit of flexibility and love we have managed to find a balance.

It amazing how just a few simple steps achieve so much.

1. Address the issue.
2. Talk and share your feelings.
3. Show how far you are prepared to accept it.
4. HAVE FAITH!
5. Continued support.

Remember you were young once!

Till next time.
