In the battle of kids versus parents, the winner of this argument is…

Well, it’s a trick question. In a well-balanced family, there shouldn’t be a winner.

Don’t panic if your household does have a bit of a battle going. We have some great tips from last week’s “Parenting Secrets (Part 1)” webinar that might help you strike a happy balance in your house.

To gauge an accurate snapshot of your family’s relationship, think about these questions:

  • Does everyone receive respect in your household?
  • Do you have a hard time getting your tweens and teens to talk to you?
  • Are you facing an uphill battle to get your kids to do chores or help out?

If these situations sound familiar to your family, check out a replay from our “Parenting Secrets (Part 1)” webinar to learn how to make your family life better for everyone. Even better: Your improved relationship could lessen the chances your kids will turn to drugs or alcohol.
