I've had a few teenagers in my life the last couple of years ( not my own) and they all seem to crave an adult who is present and available. I don't know the full story of each child, but I do know what I see. I think sometimes as a society we think just because are kids are teens that they don't need us as much, and while this is true in one sense, I believe in a different way they need us just as much as ever! I'm SO grateful that I have been able to be available and present to my children and though that can't solve all their problems, I do know it makes a difference.
