Building better relationships with our partners (and our kids), requires time and effort – this book will get you moving the right direction.

More on Technology & Kids

Continuing on the technology theme:  There is no debating that teens are addicted to their cell phones.  Most teens use their phones 24/7 and texting is their main form of communication.

Technology & Kids

This is a topic that I have been fielding many questions about.  Communication and connections.... Here is an interesting article

Has technology changed the way teenagers tick?
Teenagers today still go through puberty, adolescence, and all the associated personal and relational dramas that go along with that. So their basic desires, needs, and questions haven’t changed.
But we need to acknowledge that the technology they have grown up with has completely changed the way people go about their lives.  Young people today will have a radically different experience of childhood and adolescence than their parents did.
Adults talk about social networking and mobile technology as “new technology” yet for tweens & teens it is merely the where and how of interactions.
