Unruly Teens: Toddlers @ Heart

I thought I would share this post from Teen Services Underground as it appeared in late June and may have gone unnoticed. It takes a perceptive look at teen behaviour and also leads us to question our own behaviour at times. It is chockfull of helpful suggestions as to how we should model our behaviour as well as simple ways of drawing teens in.

This is done with a lot of empathy and humour. All in all, stay cool, keep your sense of humour, admit when you are wrong and treat teens as individuals.
