Lastly, be kind to your children, even when you think they don’t deserve it. Children need to know that they are loved, no matter what – and that does not mean that you agree with everything they do. It just means that there’s nothing they can do to make you not love them. Once kids feel this, they will not need to test you, thereby eliminating one of the major reasons that teenagers try things they know are wrong.
