Raising children in today's world gives parents a whole different aspect as to what they face as compared to 100 years ago. Back then they didn't have such things as cell phones,computers,motorcycles and all the worldly possessions that we try to obtain today. It's hard to get a grip on your teen when they are a million miles away in cyberspace or texting their friends trying to make plans that don't match up with the plans you already have for them. What do you do when you have a teen yelling and screaming thinking you are going to do things their way or no way? Number one thing is to pray! Ask God to help you be strong and give you wisdom as to what you should say and do when you have an out of control teen. Pray in the name of Jesus and ask for all evil spirits to flee. Speak in a slow soft tone even though you want to explode yourself because you don't understand why your teen would act in such a manner. Don't give in when you set limits and expectations of your teen. Even if it means an all niter reminding them that you are the parent when they are 16 and when they get to be 18 and move out then you will still be the parent but they can make their own choices then. They will never be too old to get advice though it's just part of being a parent. One day they will understand. About the time they are in the same situation with their own child.
